Add One or More Rubrics to a Master Course
One or more rubrics can be linked to each course in your SchoolFront Master Catalog. Some courses may have 1 rubric, others may have 1 rubric for written assignment assessment, 1 for oral assignment assessment, etc. All course sections created from the Master Course will be able to use the rubrics associated with the Master Course for assessment if they wish to do so.
The SchoolFront system has centralized the management of rubrics in this way so that (1) standards/skills would be consistent no matter which teacher is teaching the course to a specific level of student, and (2) so that if you need to update the rubrics, the changes only need to be made in one location in SchoolFront and will be reflected in the rubrics used by all sections of the Master Course after the change is made.
