What Is a Teacher Gradebook?
Think of a teacher gradebook as a simplified learning management system. It's where quizzes, homework, participation, assignments, and student behavior all come together.
It's a place to:
- Record test scores during the school year
- Manage attendance tracking
- Track student progress to see who's thriving and who needs extra support
- Stay organized, consistent, and fair with grading
- Spot patterns that lead to more meaningful conversations with parents and guardians
- Create lesson plans and assignment types based on accurate notes

How To Use a Teacher Gradebook
You can turn a standard gradebook into one of the best teacher planners by adding a few extra sections, should you need them.
Weekly planning
Weekly planning pages keep your entire week in view across multiple classes, so you can stay efficient when it's time to update report cards or review specific assignments.
Prep work and priorities
These pages help you map out what matters most, including prepping assignments, meeting with colleagues, and what you hope to achieve during the school year.
Class schedules and lesson plans
Keeping your schedules, monthly themes, and lesson plans all in one place makes it easier to teach more confidently and track what's coming next.
Student and parent notes
Having a dedicated spot for student notes allows you to remember the small details and demonstrate clear improvement when it's time for reports or parent-teacher chats.
Classroom management
Pages that allow you to keep track of classroom expenses and plan layouts can help things run more smoothly throughout the year.
Ideas and general notes
Great ideas can pop up at any time, so you need a spot for inspiration, reminders, and thoughts about new class plans, projects, and how to boost student performance.
