Standard based rubrics

Standard-based rubrics help your school assess student learning directly against learning standards. Each criterion in the rubric is linked to one or more standards selected from your curriculum.

These templates become part of your school’s assessment tool library and are available for teachers to use while creating tasks.

What can I do on this page?

Use this page to create and manage standard-based rubric templates for your school.

When creating a new standard-based rubric:

Select a Standard set and a corresponding Grade scale from the list configured for your school.

The grade scale determines the code/levels, labels, and descriptors that will appear in your rubric.

Choose one or more learning standards you want to assess from within the selected set.

Each selected standard appears as a row in the rubric.

Code/levels, labels, and descriptors are automatically populated based on the selected grade scale.

If the selected grade scale uses numeric ratings, the rubric will also display a maximum score, calculated automatically based on the point values assigned to each selected learning standard.

Add/edit descriptions for each criterion if desired.

Use Add row to include additional standards if needed.

Rearrange or delete rows using the icons.

Use Display settings to show or hide the standard’s code, description, or label in the rubric view.

Click Save to add the rubric to your school’s assessment tool templates.

Search to quickly find a rubric by name.

Use the Actions menu (three dots) to edit, preview, duplicate, or delete a standard-based rubric.

Things to keep in mind

Standard-based rubrics created here become available to teachers when they build assessments in their classes.

Editing a rubric template does not change the rubric in any existing tasks where it has already been used.

Deleting a rubric removes it from the list of templates available for new tasks, but does not affect any tasks where the rubric has already been assigned.

Teachers can also create their own standard-based rubrics in class and optionally save them to the school template library.
