Enter Gradebook Scores by Competency

Use this procedure to enter gradebook scores for assignments associated with a competency in SBGB Detail mode. The SBGB Detail mode enables you to see all the assignments that apply to a competency. This view is also used to display the students' values for each competency, and, if necessary, make overrides if a mark needs to be changed. 

To enter the SBGB Detail mode from the Gradebook Entry page, click

 on the Gradebook mode selector
. The Competencies and Marks filters display in the filter area. After you select a competency and mark type, the associated assignments display. In SBGB Detail mode, you can also override the student's Grade value if your building administrator allows you to override grades.

Competency scores use accumulator types to calculate report card marks. Refer to the What is an Accumulator Type? topic for details.
