Create and Manage Rubrics

1. In the Rubric bank, select + to create a new rubric.

2. Enter a Rubric name. Optionally, add a Description.

3. Under Evaluate by, select whether students will be evaluated by Points, Point range, or Comment only. Depending on your selection here, you will see different menu options when adding skills to evaluate.

4. Optionally, you can choose to Associate with Grade level(s) and Associate with department(s). Associations will be searchable within the Rubric bank.

5. Under Skill to evaluate, enter the name of a skill (for example: Grammar, Comprehension, Critical Thinking, or Lab Safety). Each skill is an area where students will be graded or receive comments.

6. Add Proficiency levels for the skill (for example: Exemplary, Adequate, Developing, Needs Improvement). If prompted, enter the Points or Point Range for each Proficiency level.

   Select + Add a level if needed, or select X to delete a blank level.

   Note: For teachers who plan to associate a point-based rubric with an assignment using Gradebook, the Points value in the rubric automatically becomes the Max Points for the assignment.

7. After the skill is created, select Done adding this skill.

   Note: We recommend selecting Save to rubric bank after you set up each skill. This will prevent losing work from the system timing out before you are able to save your work.

8. If additional skills are needed, select + Add another skill and follow Steps 5 and 6 again. Any added skill sections you add retain the previously created Point totals and Proficiency names by default, but you can change them if you want.

9. When you are finished, select Save to rubric bank.
