Rubric Entry
Choosing Rubric Entry from the Assignments Menu "envokes" the Standards-Based grading power of PGGP. Rubric Entry is the best of all worlds.
1. Rubric Entry combines Quick Entry and Number Correct. If you choose a point scale of under 10 points, PGGP acts like you are in Quick Entry mode, advancing to the next students with each key press. If you choose a scale of 10 or more points, you will have to press Enter/Return after each entry to advance. You can enter 2 to 100 points in rubric scale, although it makes more sense to keep the scale at or above the numer of Performance Indicators in the Rubric Formula.
2. Rubric Entry you to attach a standard to the Assignment. You do not have to attach an assignment or assessment to a standard. If you do not, then it remains unattached and is for information only, and not calculated. If a standard is chosen for the assessment, then PGGP automatically starts a new standards group to keep track of the student's progress in that standard.
3. If your school or district does not want standards "averaged" then you can choose "Limit Standards to One" in Preferences. PGGP will then allow only one assessment per standard. Instead of add assessments for the standard, you would change the student's current score to reflect progress on that standard.
4. Rubrics can also be treated as "True Rubric" or the drivin
4. You cannot set a weight of a Rubric Scored item. This just did not seem to make sense when thinking about standards.
