If your district has set up score conversion tables, Extempore automatically converts raw rubric scores into your district's grading scale when you grade. You don't need to configure anything. This happens automatically when a rubric with a conversion table is attached to an assessment.
What you see when grading
Grade the submission as usual using the rubric. Once you submit the grade, Extempore applies the conversion table and displays two values:
Converted score — the score mapped to your district's grading scale
Performance band — only if attached to the rubric score conversion
The converted score also displays a performance band, which is a label and color defined by your district admin, such as Novice, Intermediate, or Advanced.
💡 The raw rubric scores won't add up to the converted score. That's expected. A conversion table is a scale mapping, not a sum.
If you are not seeing the converted score or performance bands inside of the Extempore gradebook, then click the gear icon in the top right to enable score conversions by default for assessments that include it.
💡 If you still are not seeing the performance band then your district admin most likely did not include it for this rubric OR the rubric is attached at the question level instead of the assessment level.
What the Gradebook shows
The converted score is the grade of record, not the raw rubric total. Performance bands make converted scores easy to scan across your class at a glance.
What students see in the Student Portal
Students see their converted score, raw total per criterion, and performance band together in a single row on the graded submission.
What gets sent to your LMS
The converted score is what Extempore sends to Google Classroom or Edlink, not the raw rubric total. The total possible points sent matches the conversion table maximum.
