Overview

The Input Effort Grade feature allows authorized administrators to record effort or behavior-based grades for students on behalf of a teacher. Effort grades help evaluate non-academic performance such as participation, work habits, responsibility, and classroom behavior based on the effort categories configured by the school.

Administrators can select a teacher, choose a student, review the configured effort categories, assign effort ratings, and save the evaluation.
