You can add more than one by holding down CONTROL as you choose the outcomes.

You may need to choose a range of outcomes for different students.

Choose all the outcomes you need.

You can hide the outcomes that don’t relate to some students later in the process.

Don’t forget to press SAVE.


7. Return back to Markbook and this time choose the magnifying class.


8. You will now see the outcomes on the right-hand side.

First choose the qualifier – you must change each student to N/A as this stops the girls from being ranked.


9. Press SAVE once everyone has N/A as the qualifier.


10. Now go to the outcomes. You can choose from the following options for each outcome:

None: This means the student didn’t attempt this outcome. You can report on different students doing different outcomes. This outcome will not be visible to the girls or parents.

Unable: Please don’t use this option as we should only be presenting content to the girls that they can access. Please choose ‘None’ if the student is unable to complete the outcome and then this outcome won’t be visible on the student’s report.

High assistance: The student needs 1:1 to complete the task / outcome at all times.

Close supervision: The student needs a support person to be supervising to complete the task / outcome.

Minimal assistance: The student needs someone to check in as they complete the task / outcome.

Independent: The student can complete the task / outcome independently.

Press SAVE once finished
