Create a Category

Before you begin creating assignments, it’s recommended that you create categories so you can group assignments by type. Then, set up assignments in PowerTeacher Pro, choose whether or not to include them in the final grade, and tie them to standards. Your district leaders may also set up assignment categories at the district level for you and other teachers to use.

Create a Category

On the charms bar, select and then choose Category.
Select the classes for this assignment .
Choose/enter assignment information.

Check Inactive when you want to make categories that you no longer use inactive.

On the Assignment Defaults tab, when you select the Score Type, the fields change specific to your selection. See More Help on Score Types.

To include new assignments in this category in final grade calculations by default, verify that Count in Final Grade is selected.

To view the categories that you or district leaders have already created, click the View All tab. District-created categories are labeled with an icon that looks like a building. Also, use the View All tab to view the classes that are using each category and the statuses of each category.

Select Save when finished.
