IEW Gradebook is your grading assistant. This online tool is a subscription-based program that organizes your workload and manages student submissions, identifies elements from the IEW Checklist, and provides comments that you can insert with just a single click.
Explore IEW Gradebook with Andrew Pudewa and Hannah Averitt.
IEW Gradebook is a subscription-based program designed to be used by homeschooling parents who grade one or two submissions each week as well as classroom teachers who grade many submissions each week. A submission is any paper uploaded to include rough drafts and final drafts.
IEW Gradebook displays a student’s submitted paper and the IEW Checklist side by side, allowing teachers to concentrate on assessing without distractions.
IEW Gradebook accepts Microsoft Word and Google Docs. Teachers can upload student submissions, sync student work from their existing Learning Management System, or allow students to submit their papers directly to IEW Gradebook.
Supported Learning Management Systems (LMS): IEW Gradebook, Google Classroom, Toolbox (Sakai), Canvas (coming soon). If you do not see your LMS listed, please contact gradebook@IEW.com as we are adding support for more LMS providers.

Classroom Management
A teacher who teaches a group of students the same curriculum can organize student submissions by classroom. In IEW Gradebook a classroom allows a teacher to take advantage of a range of additional features thoughtfully designed to streamline grading workflow. With one glance the teacher knows if a submission is missing, submitted, or graded. Like a traditional gradebook, IEW Gradebook lists students’ assignment scores and provides quarterly, semester, and yearly averages. In addition, IEW Gradebook tracks student mastery of structure and style techniques offering a holistic view of student performance which makes it easier to identify trends, areas of improvement, and overall progress in the course.
Teachers who use the classroom feature can sync student submissions from their existing Learning Management System or allow students to submit their work directly to IEW Gradebook. Teachers who have students submit directly to IEW Gradebook receive additional benefits like accepting KWOs, rough drafts, and final drafts. This allows a teacher to easily compare a student's final draft to the student’s KWO or rough draft.
Each classroom is $5 per month or $25 per year.

"I tried IEW Gradebook reluctantly. I don't change horses midstream, and I like to do things the way that I always have done them.
This online tool has changed how I grade—for the better. I am more methodical about my grading and more efficient so that I am able to leave meaningful feedback for both my reluctant writers and my strong students. Within a week of using IEW Gradebook, I determined I would grade all of my classes with it. As I have Tuesday classes, weekends are mine again!"

“Dear Gradebook,
If I were a poet, I would write you a sonnet. It is 9 AM on a Friday, and all of my papers are graded and returned! I have the weekend to play.
I am one happy teacher today!”

“Can I tell you how much I LOVE the Compare Documents feature in Gradebook? When I wonder if a student made the same kind of mistake in the last assignment, I don’t have to go dig it up—I just go to the Compare tab by the checklist and BOOM, there it is. I love it!”
Jill P. Tutor, Ft. Wayne, IN
