The Assessment & Grading Workflow
From quiz creation to parent communication — the full grading loop.
Grading season doesn't have to mean late nights. This workflow connects LessonDraft's assessment tools into a complete cycle: create the assessment, build the rubric, grade with feedback, generate report card comments, and send progress updates to parents. Each step feeds into the next.
