Assessment Calendar

Gian Toyos

Hello. My first post here.

Our high school is looking to create a place within the platform where a schedule or calendar can be created where teachers (by grade) can post when are they assigning a major assessment. For years we have tried different methods of having this to avoid big tests or projects due the same day. Ideally, all the teachers from a particular grade will see what others are expecting the students to complete of study for.

I have tried creating Activity Groups for each grade, that seems the best option I have found. Or perhaps creating a calendar, this will require someone to manage it and post the information that teachers send.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Our Faculty are required to check the "Roster Major Assignment - By Section" report to see what major assignments are schedule for their students. This has works great for us - the report shows when the assignment was created (Inserted date) so we can tell if a faculty member didn't check this report and scheduled a Major assignment when there was already another one on the “calendar.” We allow 2 major assignments on a day for students. We moved from a shared Outlook calendar to this report and teachers like the report - they don't have to remember to add to the “Test Calendar.” Some of our seasoned teachers create their major assignments at the beginning of the school year to hold their spot.
