IN THIS ARTICLE
Classes being imported (Combined Import) or roster synced into Gradient will already be connected to a teacher and students as designated from the roster source.
If your organization is using a roster sync solution (via Clever or ClassLink), classes and associated rosters will need to be managed in the rostering platform or directly from your SIS (Student Information System). You will not be able to edit class information in Gradient for synced classes.
However, you might wish to create classes manually for impromptu student groupings (like a practice SAT group, an after-school program, or an intervention group), assign it to a staff member, and add existing students from the subscription. This article will review how to add and edit classes in Gradient!
Create a Class Manually
1. From Admin Mode, click the Classes tab and then select the New button. |
|
2. Select Create New Class from the dropdown menu. | |
3. Complete the Class Details below and select SAVE to exit the New Class window. |
Import Classes
To import a list of classes without student association or to update several existing classes at once, use the Import Classes File. This method will require additional manual work within Gradient to connect the Import Classes File to students.
Tip! For the first file import at the start the year or a new term, use the Combined Import File to connect classes to terms, schools, staff, and students simultaneously.
From Admin Mode, select the Classes tab. Select the blue New button, and choose Import Classes from the drop-down menu.
- Use the required Import File Template (Import Classes tab).
- Select or drag the Import Classes file and choose Next.
- Verify that the changes shown are correct (and resolve any errors in the file) before clicking Next.
- Click Run Import.
- The Classes tab will now show the imported classes.
Edit Classes
Reasons to edit a class may include changing the teacher of record, adding a co-teacher, or changing the display name of the class. To edit a class, follow the steps below:
1. From within Admin Mode, select the Classes tab.
2. Check the box before a class name to reveal the Edit icon in the toolbar on the right. Select Edit.
Note: Check multiple boxes to edit multiple classes at once.
3. Verify or edit the class details and choose SAVE.
Edit Teacher Association
A teacher associated with a class may be edited after the class has been manually added or imported. Reasons for the change may include an early retirement, a long-term substitute, or an other need.
- Associating a new teacher with a class will replace the original teacher.
- Creating a new teacher association does not automatically share access to all assignments created by the original teacher of record. To share assignment data, see assignment sharing options.
- Keeping the primary teacher associated with a class and adding a co-teacher may also be an option to preserve the original teacher of record.
Note: If a nightly roster sync has been set up, the teacher for the class cannot be manually edited. The changes will need to be made from the roster source to update the nightly sync into Gradient.
