This article will explain Total Grade Conversion for Standards. Total Grade Conversion shows a "total grade" for each student in each class within the standards gradebook. When enabled, users will see the student's overall mastery on individual standards as well as the "total grade."
➡️ How Does It Work?
Total Grade Conversion is calculated by averaging the scores for each standard. This is true for all Mastery Settings (Mean, Mode, Most Recent, Highest, Decaying Average; the total grade is calculated using an average regardless of which Mastery Setting is being used for the gradebook.
Toggling between different Mastery Settings can/will alter the Total Grade that is calculated.
The breakdown:
The student is assessed on multiple standards.
Each standard is then displayed individually in the standards gradebook.
The overall mastery score for the individual standard is calculated based on the Mastery Setting selected by the district (Mean, Mode, Most Recent, Highest, Decaying Average)
Total Grade is then calculated by averaging the data presented in the Gradebook.
💡 The example below shows how the Total Grade calculation is altered when the Mastery Setting is changed.
❗If you would like to display a "raw total score" rather than a total grade term, please reach out to your Otus Client Experience Partner or the Otus Support Team for assistance.
