Rubric Setup Page

On this page:

Use this page to create and review public rubrics that your district's teachers can link to their assignments in Teacher Access Center (TAC).

Note

TAC allows teachers to define two types of rubrics: Simple and Full. Only full rubrics can be created as public rubrics. To learn more about assignment rubrics, refer to the Overview of Rubrics topic.

You can associate standards-based competencies with the various assessment criteria in the rubric. However, note that this is only useful for teachers if the competencies are valid for the course or student competency group that the teacher is grading for the assignment.
