Remember:Those character scores are
not just data…
IT’S KIDS’ DATA!
Before you actually input any information into the tracker
let’s review a few guiding principles.

Students’ Names Should Always Be Anonymized
Only enter students’ last
initial

If You Move Information From Another File…
Let’s say you have your roster in
another spreadsheet and you want to copy it into the tracker
© Relay Graduate School of Education. All rights reserved. 27
If You Copy and Paste, ALWAYS Paste “As Values”
When pasting, right-click to select
“Paste Special” and then select
“Values”
© Relay Graduate School of Education. All rights reserved. 28
Seriously. ALWAYS Paste “As Values”!!!
You could break your tracker if you
don’t paste “as values”

The Tracker Tabs Are Organized By Character Strength
Choose the tab that matches the strength you will be measuring.
If you’re measuring a different strength (not one of the Great Eight) then simply change the indicator wording on any one of
the tabs.

Fill Out The Blank Spaces, NOT The Headers
These colorful column headings
cannot be changed
The blank fields are where you’ll
input information

If You Try To Change A Header, You Can’t
This is the message you’ll
receive if you try to type into a field that is not blank

Save Often
Saving is fun!
On a separate note:
It’s always a good idea to have a file backup service, in
case your computer ever goes kaput

Review The Tracker Directions Tab If You Get Stuck
These directions can be found on the first tab of
your tracker file
It’s now your turn to get started using the tracker file.
Have fun!
