Grade Levels
Relevant Definitions
A grade level is the student's year in school, first grade, second grade, third grade and so on. The term 'grade level is used to differentiate between the grade or mark a student received in a class and the year the student is in.
A grade span covers multiple years of school and can be defined by the administrator. A plan can not exceed a grade span. The purpose of defining grade spans is to help set academic goals and gates.
Grade Level Table and Fields
Grade levels are specified by creating records for the grade levels the school teaches. The records have a name, which could be "sixth" or "6th" or any user-entered name. The user must also assign a grade level number, such as 6 for the 6th grade, The records are sequenced to know which grade comes before which so that the name does not have to reflect the order of the grade levels.
The grade span of a grade level is determined from the grade span table, which indicates the start and end grade of the span. This is completed through automation.
