The setup for standards-based gradebooks is slightly different from that of letter-grade gradebooks.

 

The Marking System is set to Skills instead of Letter.

The lower elementary grades may as few as have three courses:

•Math

•Language Arts

•Other Skills & Behaviors

 

The basis for determining how many courses to establish is the number of gradebooks that teachers want to have.  There is one gradebook created for every section of a course that a teacher teaches.
