Reading the expanded gradebook columns

What each assessment tool expands into, what the cells mean, and why the wording is your school's.

Written by Bryan Fawcett

Toddle shows a rubric as a single icon in a single cell. To find out what a student actually got, you click the cell and a panel opens. To see the next student, you close it and click again.

The extension turns that cell into columns — one per standard, criterion or checklist item — with every student's result visible at once, in Toddle's own grid.

Expanding

  • Expand all in the toolbar expands every tool of every assessment in view. Collapse all closes them again.

  • The › button in a tool's own header cell expands that tool only.

  • An assessment with two or more tools also has a » button in its header that opens or closes all of its tools together.

  • The focus dropdown narrows to a single assessment.

  • The type filter has two rows, as Toddle does: the task type (Assessment, Learning experience, Quick task, Worksheet), then, for assessments only, Summative or Formative.

  • View: in grid / table switches between columns inside Toddle's grid (the default) and the extension's own table below it.

The wording is yours, not ours

Every level, descriptor and standard you see comes back from your Toddle at the moment you expand a column. Nothing about any particular school's scale is built into the extension. A school using "Exceeding / Meeting / Approaching" and a school using a 1–7 scale each see their own wording.

Long level names are shortened to initials so they fit the cell. Hover any cell to read the full wording, its description, and the submission status.

Colour means submission status

Cell colour uses Toddle's own colours for late, not submitted, overdue and pending — exactly as it does everywhere else in the gradebook. The result is carried by the cell's text, never by its background, so colour never means two things at once.

If a column says "Unavailable"

The extension could not read that tool. Everything else still works. Tell us at [email protected] and say which assessment type it was.
