The Easy Grade Pro is an electronic gradebook for teachers, originally developed by Orbis Software Inc. It has all of the tools necessary to help teachers spend more time teaching their students and less time on the administrative necessities, such as seating charts, calculating grades, and tracking classroom progress. It replaces the old teacher's notebook, grade book, behavior book, and seating chart and rolls them all into one convenient program; versions were released for both Windows and Mac OS. The product was later taken over by Edline and then Blackboard, and it has since been discontinued.

Features:

  • It allows teachers to more closely monitor their students' progress in multiple areas from grades to attendance and calculates grade averages for both the individual student and the classroom. This helps teachers see what curriculum may need more attention, where students are thriving and where they are having trouble, and how well the classroom is doing overall.
  • It has a seating chart where a teacher can arrange students and reassign them to different seats if their current seating arrangement is not helping the student progress.
  • This program allows you to create multiple reports using different criteria and allows you to include different classes and subjects in each to see how a particular subject or curriculum is going across multiple classrooms.
  • Each class has separate charts for scores, attendance, seating, students, assignments and standards, and several classes can be kept in one gradebook file. Weighted averages, grading scales and attendance categories allow the system to be adapted to any grade level and subject.
  • It can create student reports that can be sent to students or parents by email, and its Website Reports feature can publish reports to school or district web servers. Reports can also be exported to Edline.
It simplifies the process of keeping up with grades, attendance, student evaluations, and other areas, saving both time and effort.

As ever-increasing demands are placed on teachers, they need to be able to work smarter so they can spend more time with their students, teaching, instead of calculating grade averages and writing out progress reports. The program comes with a demo gradebook that shows how classes, scores and attendance are organized, which makes it easy to learn.
