I created tools for reporting grades and managing my specifications grading courses. Feel free to save and use any of the tools shared in this Google Folder.

About These Tools

Here are some details about each of the tools in the folder.

For Instructors

Reporting Final Grades: The Specifications Grading Grade Report Template Google Sheet is a customizable document that helps instructors enter, track, and report grades. The first tab centralizes all student grade entries and each following tab can be saved as a PDF and sent to students to report final grades.

Helping Instructors Track Assignments Each Week: The Specs Grading Course Bundles Progress Template helps instructors track how many assignments remain in bundles throughout the semester. This tool is built for a 14-week semester.

Helping Students Track Their Progress: Students can use the Specs Grading Progress Scorecard to enter absences and completions to plan and track progress.

For Students to Track Specifications Grading: I continue to create tools to help students understand how this grading framework works. In Fall 2023, I created a Yahtzee scorecard that was quite effective. Now, I wish I had used it the first week of classes.
