What report or list can be used to audit whether teachers are keeping their gradebooks updated?

Has anyone built a report or list that would allow a principal to quickly review all class section gradebooks to determine if teachers are keeping their gradebooks up to date? I would imagine it might be just a listing of the course name, section number, head teacher, and the date/time the teacher last made a modification to the gradebook. @Brian Gray, I know you are an advanced list guru, so anything creative on your end?

    @Geoffrey Goodfellow - I took a swing at building both a SKY list and an Advanced List today. One or the other may be close to what you're looking for. Your mileage may vary.

    SKY List:

    Academics > Reporting > Manage Lists > Build a new list

    Gradebook Grades List

    Add columns:

    b7e4700580d8a03a249c0dcbeb049b55-huge-gb

    8ba0b1115dc4821ecfc7dc0169a8af01-huge-gb

    The Saved GPA date is the date and time that the Cumulative grade for the student was last calculated (effectively, the last time that the Commit button was clicked).

    An Advanced list can also be used:

  • @Brian Gray, this is perfect! It was the "the Saved GPA date being the date and time that the Cumulative grade for the student was last calculated" that was lost on me. I saw GPA and skipped over that being a useable field for my scenario. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Much appreciated!

  • @Brian Gray and @Geoffrey Goodfellow Please also consider voting for these Ideas as view-only access for Gradebooks is needed:

    K12OR-I-2658 (Role with View Only Access to Teacher Gradebooks)

    K12OC-I-663 (View Only Grade Book Access)

    K12OR-I-181 (Grade Book Manager Clone Restrictions)

    As an FYI, there is a Grade Book Printout – By Teacher system report but it's currently being researched by the BB technical team since we found it was combining some assignments. Unfortunately, the report does not include any indicators such as Incomplete, Missing, etc. or assignment types. It also does not show assignment titles, only assignment abbreviations, so if teachers don't put in an abbreviation then those won't have helpful headings. Ultimately, we really need some way to give principals/leadership a view-only option to see gradebooks.

    These are great – thank you so much! Do you know, if a teacher hadn't graded any assignments, would they still appear in the report?

    @Susan Hemingway - The SKY list example does include students for whom no assignments have been graded (that is - there is no cumulative grade).

    The Advanced List example can be modified to include those students: uncheck the “Inner” box for the Grade Book Cumulative object.
