Evidence View
The Evidence View is where evidence meets the evaluation rubric. It's where you review collected evidence, align it to rubric components, and — when enabled — assign scores.
Why Evidence View Matters
Throughout the evaluation year, evidence is collected through various activities — observations, artifacts, student growth goals, and more. The Evidence View is where you make sense of that evidence by:
- Seeing what's been collected for each rubric component
- Packaging evidence to connect it to specific rubric performance level text
- Reviewing the rubric to understand what each performance level looks like
- Scoring (when enabled) to assign performance levels to rubric components
Two Ways to Look at the Rubric
The Evidence View is a single panel that works in one of two modes. You move between them with the Rubric Navigator button in the panel header.
| Mode | What You See |
|---|---|
| Whole-rubric view | The full rubric at a glance — every component with its evidence counts and scores. Titled State View or Instructional View, depending on which framework the collection uses. This is where the Evidence View opens. |
| A single component | One rubric component in detail: its performance level descriptors, and its Unpackaged and Packaged evidence. |
See Navigating the Rubric for how to move between them.
Where You'll Find Evidence View
Every evidence collection except Artifacts has an Evidence View tab. It always shows evidence within that collection.
| Evidence Collection | What the Evidence View Shows |
|---|---|
| Observations | Evidence from that observation (notes, conference responses, embedded artifacts) |
| Student Growth | Evidence from goal setting or achievement |
| Self-Assessment | Evidence from that self-assessment (for reflection; doesn't flow to summative) |
| Summative Evaluation | Aggregated view of all published evidence scoped to the plan type |
For what counts as evidence in each one — which text can be coded, and what else contributes — see Where Evidence Comes From.
Why No Evidence View for Artifacts?
Artifacts work differently. When you create an artifact, you align it to one or more rubric components. Each alignment becomes a separate evidence item that appears in:
- Summative — when the artifact is shared (global artifacts)
- The parent evidence collection — when the artifact is embedded within an observation, etc.
Common Tasks
Reviewing Evidence
Open the Rubric Navigator and pick a rubric component, then review the unpackaged evidence aligned to it.
Packaging Evidence
Select evidence items, choose the rubric text they support, and create the package. See Packaging Evidence.
Adding Notes
Need to add narrative evidence directly? Add a rubric note aligned to the current rubric component.
Coding Text as Evidence
Highlight passages in observation notes or conference responses and code them directly to rubric components. See Coding Text as Evidence.
Scoring
Assign a performance level to a rubric component or to a whole domain or criterion. See Scoring the Rubric.
