How can I configure assessment tool templates for my school?

Assessment tools are an important mechanism that helps teachers consistently evaluate students' learning. Furthermore, it can help students in self-assessing their learning.
There are different kinds of assessment tools available on Toddle- rubric, single-point rubric, standard-based rubric, and checklist. As an administrator, you can create and add these assessment tools to your school library, making them available for teachers’ use. Additionally, teachers can also create their own rubrics and checklists from within their classes and add them to the school’s collection.
Let’s learn about this in detail.
Navigate to assessment tool templates
To begin, navigate to:
Here, you will find separate tabs for each assessment tool:
Create a new rubric
A rubric establishes a set of criteria for evaluating students in specific areas of learning. The descriptors inform the teachers what characteristics to look for in students’ work and assess them accordingly.
To create a new rubric, go to the ‘Rubrics’ tab from the left pane and click on the ‘Create a new rubric’ button.
On this page, you are required to give a title to your rubric and define the criteria and corresponding descriptors for each level.
Choose the following options to structure your rubric:
Note: You can add as many rows and columns as you wish in your rubric.
Once completed, click on ‘Save’ to add the rubric to your school’s library of assessment tool templates.
All the rubric templates you have created will be displayed on the main page. To edit, preview, duplicate, or delete a template, click on the three dots located next to it.
Additionally, you can modify the default levels of the rubric template by using the 'Edit default levels' option on the top-right.
The changes you make to the default levels will apply to new rubrics, but will not affect any existing rubric templates. Furthermore, you or other administrators can choose to modify the default criteria levels while creating a new rubric template.
Create a new single-point rubric
A single-point rubric establishes a single level of each criterion that a student has to meet for an assessment. It does not include any alternative levels and also leaves an open space for feedback and evidence during the time of evaluation.
To create a new single-point rubric, go to the ‘Single point rubrics’ tab from the left pane and click the ‘Create a new single-point rubric’ button.
On this page, provide a title and add rows to define each criterion. You can only add criteria titles/definitions to the middle section, as the other two sections will be completed by teachers during the evaluation.
To structure your rubric, you have the following options:
Note: You can add as many rows as you wish in your rubric.
Once completed, click on ‘Save’ to add the single-point rubric to your school’s library of assessment tool templates.
All single-point rubric templates you create will be displayed on the main page. Here, you can edit, preview, duplicate, or delete a template by clicking on the three dots next to it.
Furthermore, you can adjust the default headers of the single-point rubric template using the 'Edit default headers' option. It's important to note that these changes will apply to new rubrics you create and will not affect any existing single-point rubric templates.
Create a new standard based rubric
A standard-based rubric helps evaluate students on specific learning standards. The descriptors inform the teachers what characteristics to look for in students’ work and assess them using the chosen grade scale.
To create a new rubric, go to the ‘Standard based rubrics’ tab from the left pane and click on the ‘Create a new standard based rubric’ button.
When creating a new standards-based rubric, you will be prompted to select a standard set and a corresponding grade scale from those added to your school. Note that each rubric can be based on only one standard set and one grade scale.
Note: A grade scale defines how student performance is recorded, whether through letter grades like A–F, numeric values like 1–4, or proficiency labels like Beginning, Developing, and Proficient. A standard set can be tagged to one or more grade scales. To learn more about grade scales and how to create or manage them, refer to .
Once you have selected a standard set, choose one or more standards you want to include in the rubric. These will form the criteria against which student work will be evaluated.
Once the rubric is created, you will see the selected standards listed as criteria, along with the mapped grade scale descriptors (if added by you).
In addition to the selected standards, the chosen grade scale also impacts the structure of the rubric and how student evaluation will take place. Based on the selected grade scale, the rubric will display ratings as either letter grades or numeric values. Let’s look at both options:
Alpha grade scale:
If you have selected an alpha grade scale, ratings appear as letter grades (e.g., A–F or proficiency levels) in the rubric. Against each criteria row, each cell in the rubric will display:
Numeric grade scale:
If you have selected a numeric grade scale, ratings appear as a numerical score (e.g., 1 to 7). Against each criteria row, each cell in the rubric will display:
You can further customise the rubric in the following ways:
Once completed, Save your rubric template.
Create a new checklist
A checklist is a tool that outlines the attributes or elements that should be included in a student's response to an assessment. It serves as a useful overview for teachers to track students' progress and the completion of tasks.
To create a new checklist, go to the ‘Checklists’ tab from the left pane and click on the ‘Create a new checklist’ button.
Here, you are required to give a title to your checklist and define the criteria as well as the corresponding assessment options that teachers will use to evaluate.
Follow these steps to structure your checklist:
Note: You can add as many rows and columns as you wish in the checklist.
Once you have finished setting up the checklist, click on 'Save' to add the checklist to your school’s library of assessment tool templates.
All checklist templates you create will be displayed on the main page. Here, you can edit, preview, duplicate, or delete a template by clicking on the three dots next to it.
Furthermore, you can adjust the default options of the checklist template using the 'Edit default options' button. It's important to note that these changes will apply to new checklists you create and will not affect any existing checklist templates.
View from the teacher’s end
The assessment tool templates configured here can be used by teachers when creating class tasks and assessing them.
Teachers can easily select their desired tool(s) by clicking on the ‘+’ icon against the Assessment tool(s) option. Here, they have a choice to either create a new template or select an existing one.
If they opt for the ‘Select a template’ option, they will see all the existing templates for the chosen assessment tool, and can easily select a template from here.
Furthermore, if they wish to create a new template, they can select the ‘+ Create new’ option and create a customised template for their chosen assessment tool. They also have the option to save this template to the template library by clicking on the clipboard icon highlighted below.
Note: The levels (column headings) seen in the rubric will be as per the latest ones configured by the school admin from the admin portal.
