Tracking Assessments with
PTGB and the Impact of
Adding Assessment Scores on
a Students Current %
Semester 2 Example
Typical High School F1 Grade Setup
- Term Weights
Y1 = 70 70%
E1 = 30 30%
Typical High School Y1 Grade Setup
- Weighted Categories
UNIT 1 = 20 20%
UNIT 2 = 30 30%
UNIT 3 = 20 20%
UNIT 4 = 30 30%
Discuss #2:
Why might
units be
weighted
differently?
Discuss #1:
Why use
units as
Categories
in PTGB?
Typical High School Q3 Grade Setup
- Weighted Categories
UNIT 1 = 20 40%
UNIT 2 = 30 60%
Discuss #3:
Why might
the teacher
have this
Grade Setup
for Q3?
Unit 1 Planned Assessments
Quiz #1 10 Points (Weight 1.00)
Checkup 0 Points (Weight 1.00)
Quiz #2 10 Points (Weight 1.00)
Lab #1 10 Points (Weight 1.00)
Checkup 0 Points (Weight 1.00)
Assn #1 20 Points (Weight 1.00)
Quiz #3 10 Points (Weight 1.00)
Unit Test 40 Points (Weight 1.00)
UNIT 1 (4 Weeks)
Discuss #4:
What is the
net worth
of each?
Discuss #5:
What might
be the
purpose of
Checkups?
Discuss #6:
How might
Checkups
be tracked
in PTGB to
support
learning?
UNIT 1
Quiz #1 10 Points (Weight 1.00)
Checkup 0 Points (Weight 1.00)
Quiz #2 10 Points (Weight 1.00)
Lab #1 10 Points (Weight 1.00)
Checkup 0 Points (Weight 1.00)
Assn #1 20 Points (Weight 1.00)
Quiz #3 10 Points (Weight 1.00)
Unit Test 40 Points (Weight 1.00)
Discuss #7:
How many
total points
are available
in Unit1?
100 Total Points Available
As learning in Unit 1 progresses, students
earn and accumulate points with each
assessment counting towards a final grade.
At any point of time, PTGB generates
a % grade for each Category in use from
the Final grade Setup:

Total Points Earned
Total Points Available
UNIT 1
X 100
At the end of Unit 1, Kim has
completed all assessments and
has accumulated 81 points.

Discuss #8:
What is
Kims
current %?
81 Points /100 Possible = 81%
UNIT 1
Unit 2 has begun and there has
been one minor assessment
a Quiz scored out of 5 points
and weighted at 1.00
The teacher publishes this grade
and counts this assessment
towards the final grade
immediately in PTGB.
UNIT 2
Discuss #10:
Does the
teacher have
other
options?
Discuss #9:
What is the
impact of the
1
st

assessment
in any new
Unit?
Kim scores 2.5/5 (or 50%) on the quiz.
How does this impact her current
Q3 % grade in PTGB?
Recall from the Q3 Grade Setup



UNIT 2
UNIT 1 = 40%
UNIT 2 = 60%
In
Progress
Finished
Kims current grade has dropped from
81% to 62.4%
UNIT 1
UNIT 2
81 x .40 = 32.4
50 x .60 = 30.0
Doing the
MATH!
Unit Grade x Unit Worth = Points
Discuss #11:
When is the
current %
the most
reflective of
student
achievement
?
62.4%
