The Rubrics tab is used to create, edit, and view rubrics associated with a tier. A rubric is a table used to define assessment criteria and to evaluate the submitter’s performance of each criterion. Rubrics are a component of a template and are scored through the template.
To create a rubric:
1. Navigate to the organization or program for which the rubric will be added
2. Click the Rubrics tab
3. Click the New Rubric button
4. On the create rubric page, type a title for the rubric into the Title field.
5. Add or delete levels and elements as necessary.
6. To add descriptions, click the description box, and type in the desired text. To change the label of elements and levels, click the labels and type in the desired text. For each level of an element, point values can also be added.
5. To map standards to an element, click the SELECT STANDARDS button.
6. When finished mapping standards, click the mapping page SAVE button.
7. When finished building the rubric, click the create rubric page PUBLISH button to make the rubric usable in templates.
TIP: Instead of publish, clicking the Save button will save the rubric but will not make it available for use in a template.
NOTE: Once a rubric has been published, it can still be edited. However, the rubric’s point values and associated standards are “locked in” and cannot be changed. Additional standards can be added at any time.
