Individual Student Report Screen
Reach this screen from the main operating screen, section 3-1, by clicking on the Student Report button. Or, double click on any student's name. This screen provides an immediate individual summary report for all items entered: grades, attendance, age, etc.

On this sample screen is a summary for a fictitious student. Note the attendance summary in the lower left and the assessment completion summary in the upper right. Single click on the number in any of these cells to analyze attendance or compliance. The five tabs across the top access other views or exports of the current student's data.
On-screen Student Report

To select another student, use the toggles at the upper left.

Note the Sort by: buttons underneath the chart. Use these to re-sort the order in which the assessments are displayed. The order above in in increasing entry order, Entry+. Use Entry- to reverse this order. If selected, the Date+ and Date- orders will re-arrange the assessments according to the dates for these assessments. The Mark+ and Mark- buttons arrange the assessments into order by score as in the next image.

Tip: Use the Sort feature to analyse an individual’s data by placing it into date and/or score order. To provide convincing evidence that they have subsequently acquired the curriculum underlying their low score measurement instruments, have each learner repeat those instruments or an equivalent instrument. The Mark+ screen easily identifies the low scores in each student’s data - see the highlighted column. Students will be keen to examine/discuss this screen with you and to make note of which items should be repeated. Or, print and hand out a detailed report in Mark+ order.

Analyze any student's performance by category/strand by clicking on the Categories tab. This will display a new screen with a categories bar graph, section 9-2. To see a Trend Graph of this student's performance compared to the class average, click on the Trends tab in the upper center. You will get the trends screen, section 9-3. Analyze this student's modal or most consistent performance by clicking on the Modal Analysis tab. This will display a new screen with a series of modal bar graphs, section 9-4. These three graphs enable a very professional presentation during a parent/administrator interview. Parents like the visual displays, particularly the Trend Graph. Click on the Print / Communicate tab to print paper reports, to create individual web reports, and to send private Email reports.

View an Attendance Analysis window by clicking the number inside the Absent: cell or inside the Tardy/Late: cell at the lower right (select the appropriate term in setup). These windows are also shown on the bottom two images in section 8-1.

Provided that you entered the student's birth date as in section 4-1 and have your computer's internal clock set to today's date, MarkBook will display the student's age and the class average age to a tenth of a month at the lower center of this screen.

Click on the Comments button to select/build comments from your comment banks as in section 9-4, or type your own for each student. Comments are an option on MarkBook's student reports. Selected comments will print on individual reports if you specify that option on the Print screen. Modify MarkBook's pre-loaded comment files using the Comments Editor Screen, section 10-5. MarkBook will also export your comments electronically to various school administrative software systems.

The Weight button accesses one of the most powerful features of this software - the ability to adjust the importance of any assessed item or any category/strand towards the overall mark or grade. See section 7-6. The Notes button takes you to the Anecdotal Notes screen described in section 3-3.

Return to the main operating screen, section 3-1, by clicking on the Back button.
