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 attached to a checklist, including rough drafts and final drafts.

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.

What Teachers Are Saying
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!
I just graded two papers the old way. Heavens! How did I survive grading without IEW Gradebook? It is a huge help and time saver. I don't ever want to grade without it!
It’s my new best friend. I teach in a high school and this has bought back so much time.
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!
I am really loving IEW Gradebook so far! It has helped lighten the paper workload.
I am loving the classroom function of IEW Gradebook!!! It is a wonderful grading tool and certainly helps streamline the grading process.
I am really enjoying IEW Gradebook! I was skeptical at first because, you know, IEW teachers are set in their ways. Now I want to only use Gradebook to do all my grading!
