How to Set Up the Schoology Gradebook (Standards-Based Grades)

Educators will need to complete their Schoology Grade Setup prior to completing any of the configuration settings. Please follow these directions to do so:

1. Sign into Schoology and click into a Course.
2. Click on 'Grade Setup' from the left side bar.

3. Set up your categories by clicking 'Add'.
  
4. Type in 'Formative' for the 'Category Name' (leave the other two settings as the defaults), then click 'Create.'
Please Note: The spelling must match exactly, and the first letter must be capitalized.
5. Repeat this to add the 'Summative' category.
6. Once your categories are added, click the star icon next to the category you want all assignments and assessments to default to.

7. Leave all the other settings as the default (as seen in the screenshot below) and click 'Save Changes'.


Your Gradebook set up is now complete.
