Scoring the Rubric

The rubric is scored at two levels, and where you score depends on which one you're looking at.

Scoring a Rubric Component

Navigate to the component and click the performance level on the rubric strip. The panel header then shows a Current Score readout so you can see where the row stands while you work through its evidence.

Scoring a Framework Node

When you're viewing a domain or criterion rather than an individual row, the panel header shows one button per performance level. Click a level to assign it; click the assigned level again to clear it.

Each button carries a count of the packages aligned to that level, so you can see how much packaged evidence supports the score you're about to give — and whether the level you're choosing is the one your evidence actually points to.

Seeing Scores Across the Rubric

The Performance tab in the whole-rubric view shows every score at once, with the packages behind each level. It's the quickest way to spot a component scored on a level with little evidence behind it. See Scores in the Performance View.

What's Scorable

Not everything can be scored. It depends on the evidence collection, your district's settings, and the rubric row itself — some rows aren't scorable even when scoring is on elsewhere in the same rubric. Where scoring isn't available, the performance levels are shown for reference without being selectable.

Scoring is always required in the Summative Evaluation for the criteria being evaluated.
