Labeling Things Trick - If you print out multiple things with students' names on them.

        If you are going through multiple files typing in students’ names as you create things for your classroom, here’s a tip – use the “Find and Replace” usually found under edit (works in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc).  I use Google Slides – I have 6 items I usually print out (not pictured – communications folder and a cover for a student binder).

 

1. Put everything that you type a student’s name on into one file – I recommend Google Slides or Powerpoint.
2. Click Edit > Find and Replace.
3. Type in the previous year’s student’s name in the FIND box, type in the new student’s name in the REPLACE WITH box.  Then, click REPLACE ALL.  It will then replace the previous year’s name with the new name through out the document – in my case saving me from editing 6 different files.

 

Seeing All Terms at Once for Report Cards

When you are working on report cards, sometimes you may want to see what what a student got in the previous trimester.  Here's how you see all terms on one screen.

1. After logging into PowerTeacher Pro Gradebook, go to STUDENTS.  Then, click on STANDARDS PROGRESS.
2. At the top, just below the students name, click on STANDARDS PROGRESS.  You will then see all three reporting term grades side-by-side.
