Here I go, into a new school with a small program, the school allows the teachers to report using similar templates and expects alignment (between teachers, classes and overall student trends). This is not a bad thing, rather its quiet the opposite-its a chance to a) prove yourself as a professional and b) do what works best for you.
There are a couple of free softwares that I came across-in the end the school I work at reimbursed us for a purchase of 40$ CAD (approx)-Markbook Cloud Version (PC/iOS/Macbook compatible). The free softwares are the ones I would like to shed light on the most because of the fact that they are free and there are so many teachers out there in my position (where your gradebooking is left up to you, but the reporting is uniform).
Free gradebook software #1-Markbook 2012 Edition.
-->You will likely want to purchase it afterwards as its very intuitave and saves a bunch of disk space.
Free gradebook software #2-Vertex42 .xls template
-->I came across this when a teacher dumped their drive and we exchanged, their gradebook was done in Excel which I have seen before but not as well put together and coherent as this.
like to the templates
