District Rubrics Overview
In the District Rubrics tab, administrators can:
Create, copy or edit rubrics
Change sharing rules to meet the needs of your department
Add tags to help organize your collection
View usage information like how many questions it is attached to and when it was used last.
In the Teacher Rubrics tab administrators will see all of the rubrics that teachers in your organization have created whether they have been shared with you or not.
Think of Global Rubrics as the rubrics marketplace. These are free for anyone to copy and use. Consider if you want to copy a rubric and use it as a District Rubric to save teachers a step.
As an administrator, you can create and share rubrics with specific or all teachers in your organization.
Create and share a District Rubric
Go to the Rubrics tab > District Rubrics
To create a new rubric, click Create Rubric
Give your rubric a name, and then you can add more details. These details include:
Criteria: the variables you will be measuring in a given assessment with this rubric. Provide a name of a criterion and then add a description of what that entails.
Rating: the description and point value for a students response under a given criterion. Provide a name for each rating and then add a description so your students can understand where their responses fall for each criterion. Use the plus to add more values for a given criterion.
Once you've added your desired criteria and ratings, click Save or Save & Share.
Shared rubrics will appear in the rubric drop-down menu for teachers to use when creating questions. Assessments you share with instructors that have rubrics attached will remain attached even if the rubric has not been shared with that specific instructor, but that rubric will not appear in the drop-down menu for that instructor.
Rubric Considerations
Rubrics are attached at the question level, which is great for combination assessments that require different rubrics.
If your rubric is assessment-based, try attaching it to the first question of the assessment only leaving the other questions as ‘No rubric - Mark complete’ to provide one grade for the assessment as a whole.
FAQ
If we revise rubrics, what is the best way to make the change in Extempore?
Create new district rubrics. It is helpful if you add a year to the end of the rubric name. Then, archive the previous rubrics.
It is recommended you do not edit rubrics that have been used for grading as any changes will alter grades and reports.
