Performance Bands

Performance bands are the named achievement levels (e.g. Novice, Intermediate, Advanced) that appear alongside converted scores in the student portal, gradebook, and teacher grading view.

Written by Sam Slagle

Performance bands are the named achievement levels a converted score maps to. For example, Novice, Intermediate, or Advanced — each with its own color. Bands are defined inside a score conversion table and appear anywhere converted scores are shown.

How bands are defined

Each row of a score conversion table pairs a raw score range with a converted score and a band: a label plus a color. Set them up when you create the table — see the Score Conversion Tables article.

Where performance bands appear

  • Student portal: the graded assessment shows the converted score, the raw total per criteria, and the performance band in a single row.

  • Teacher grading view: the converted score and band appear on the graded submission as soon as the conversion table is applied.

  • Gradebook: bands make converted performance easy to scan across students.

💡 Note: The per-criterion rubric scores won't add up to the converted number. A conversion is a scale mapping, not a sum. That's expected.
