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. Rubric elements can be rearranged by using the up and down arrows in the left column.
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 or outcomes to an element, click the Add Alignment button.
6. When finished aligning standards or outcomes, click the SAVE button.
7. When finished building the rubric, click the PUBLISH button to make the rubric usable in templates
TIP: Instead of publish, clicking the SAVE AS DRAFT 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/outcomes are “locked in” and cannot be changed. Additional standards and outcomes can be added at any time.
