ABOUT MARKBOOK®
Assessment is what we do.
We help educators see the story behind every grade, so they can decide with confidence and share progress clearly. It’s the only thing we do, and we do it with care.
Our mission is to help every educator see the story behind every grade.
It’s the end of term. A teacher looks at a student’s final grade: 72%. On its own, it says almost nothing. But behind it is a student who struggled through October, found their footing in November, and has been excelling ever since. The number doesn’t show that. The evidence does.
That’s why MarkBook exists.
A grade should never be the end of the story.
A final grade can summarize achievement, but it can’t explain everything an educator needs to know. Behind every result is a body of evidence: individual assessments, progress over time, patterns of consistency, missing work and classroom context.
MarkBook was created from a teacher-informed understanding of that complexity. Educators did not need software to replace their expertise. They needed assessment tools capable of bringing more of the evidence into view. That remains the purpose of MarkBook today.
How we work.
Great assessment starts with the educator. These principles guide every decision we make.

We design MarkBook to support professional judgement. It brings the evidence into view, so educators can make confident decisions about their students.
