Admin Skills-Referenced Courses (iTCCS only)

The Admin Skills-Referenced Courses page is only available to users who log on to txGradebook with a district- or campus-level security administrator user ID. The page is for campuses that are set up to use skills-referenced grading. This page allows you to indicate if a course section is category-based (i.e., regular) or skills-referenced.

To select the assessment type:

  1. From the Admin menu, select Admin Skills-Referenced Courses.

The Admin Skills-Referenced Courses page is displayed allowing you to select the assessment type for each course.

  1. In the Teacher field, click dropdown_arrow_gray.gif to select courses for a specific teacher. Or, select ALL to include all teachers.

  2. Select Course ID to retrieve courses by course number, or select Course Name to retrieve courses by name. Then, type the course number or course name in the field and click Search. The course sections are displayed according to your search criteria.

  3. If SKL is displayed in the Skills-Ref column, the course section is set to skills-referenced and has scores. You cannot change the assessment type unless you delete all existing skills, scores, and assignments.

  4. If CAT is displayed in the Skills-Ref column, the course section is set to category-based (i.e., regular) and has assignments. You cannot change the assessment type unless you delete all existing categories, grades, and assignments.

  5. If the check box is unselected, the assessment type has not been indicated, and the course has no grades/scores. The course section is category-based (i.e., regular) by default. You can switch between category-based and skills-referenced until an assignment grade is entered for the course section.

  1. To mark a course section as skills-referenced, select Skills-Ref. You can select multiple course sections.

  2. To mark a course section as category-based, unselect Skills-Ref.

  3. Click Save to save your changes.
