The wonders of an awesome teacher are simple. If you want to make a product quick, cheap, and fast... Do not waste time with the over achiever, go to the "lazy" person. That person will wait till last minute and give you the fastest route.
I am a bit of an over achiever, although my digital data tracker is tied to my data charts on my wall, it doesn't need to be. At our school we have Pinnacle for our online gradebook. By simply placing the standard at the end of each assignment it becomes a Pintrest worthy teacher hack. Once the quarter is complete, chunck your standards. For example: SS.7.C.2.8 and 2.9 deal with Political Parties and Elections in Civics. These are "chunked" for a unit. When you print your grade report have the students highlight the "chunked" standards in specific colors. Say that 2.9 & 2.8 are blue. The max amount of points that student could have earned in the gradebook on those blue assignments is 120 points. The student got 112/120 points. Dovide it out. Their SMART Goal is 80%. The student met their SMART Goal at 93% success rate on the unit. Do not have students highlight any work that did not assess their understanding or was a preassessment.
Your Gradebook just turned into a digital data tracker. :)
P.s. My students get a star on the data chart in my room if they get over an 80% for that chunked unit;)
