Rubric Assessment - Allowing different grading scales on descriptors

Laura Sass

It would be great to be able to determine the grading scale per descriptor on rubrics instead of the entire rubric to be aligned with only one scale.

Thanks for leaving this feature request Laura Sass! We'd like to learn more from you or anyone who's voted. In what cases would using different grading scales on the same rubric be useful to you? How are the grading scales similar or different from one another in what they measure? Hearing the context/story behind a feature request always helps us understand. If you have time to share more, we'd appreciate it!

We use two different grading scales...one that is more formative to track skill progression and one that is more summative to capture mastery. When creating projects and assessments, we run into the issue of needing to assess some aspects formatively and some aspects summatively within the same rubric. It would be great if there was an option where teachers could choose from our different grading scales within each descriptor of the rubric.
Let me know if you'd like anymore information! Thank you!

Laura Sass That's helpful - thank you for the response! I'd love to hear from others as well! Are you in the same situation of wanting some parts of the assessment to be formative and others to count as more summative?

Laura Sass YES! I have been looking for something like this! This will help with some of our larger scale projects!
