Assessment tools are an important mechanism that helps teachers evaluate students' learning in a consistent, reliable and unbiased manner. Furthermore, it can help students in self-assessing their learning.
​

There are three kinds of assessment tools that are available on Toddle for schools to use - rubric, single points rubric and checklist. As an administrator, you can create one or more rubrics, single-point rubrics and checklists and add these to your school library as assessment tool templates. These will be available to teachers for use while creating assessments. Additionally, teachers can also create their own rubrics and checklists from within their classes and add them to the school’s collection.
​

This article will give you a detailed walkthrough of configuring the three assessment tool templates for your curriculum.
​

On the admin portal, navigate to the ‘Programme level configurations’ section and click on ‘Academic setup’ for your curriculum.

Next, scroll and click on the ‘Assessment tool templates’ section in the left pane, as shown below.

On this page, you will find separate tabs for each assessment tool :

A rubric establishes a set of criteria for evaluating students in specific areas of learning. The descriptors inform the teachers what characteristics to look for in student’s work and assess them accordingly.

To create a new rubric, go to the ‘Rubrics’ tab from the left pane and click on the ‘Create a new rubric’ button.

In this section, you are required to give a title to your rubric and define the criteria and corresponding descriptors for each level.

Choose the following options to structure your rubric:

Once completed, click on ‘Save’ to add the rubric to your school’s library of assessment tool templates.

💡You can add as many rows and columns as you wish in your rubric.

All the rubric templates you have created will be displayed on the main page. To edit, preview, duplicate, or delete a template, simply click on the three dots located next to it. Please note that while you can't print or download the assessment rubric or checklist, you have full control over editing and managing them.

Additionally, you can modify the default levels of the rubric template by using the 'Edit default levels' option shown on the previous screen. It's important to note that these changes will apply to new rubrics you create and will not affect any existing rubric templates.

A single-point rubric establishes a single level of each criterion that a student has to meet for an assessment. It does not include any alternative levels and also leaves an open space for feedback and evidence during the time of evaluation.

To create a new single-point rubric, click on the ‘Create a new single-point rubric’ button.

On the next page, provide a title and add rows to define each criterion. You can only add criteria titles/definitions to the middle section, as the other two sections will be completed by teachers during the evaluation. If you wish to edit any of the default criteria levels, simply click on it.

To structure your rubric, you have the following options:

Once completed, click on ‘Save’ to add the single-point rubric to your school’s library of assessment tool templates.

All single-point rubric templates you create will be displayed on the main page. Here, you can edit, preview, duplicate, or delete a template by clicking on the three dots next to it.
​

Furthermore, you can adjust the default headers of the single-point rubric template using the 'Edit default headers' option. It's important to note that these changes will apply to new rubrics you create and will not affect any existing single-point rubric templates.

A checklist is a tool that outlines the attributes or elements that should be included in a student's response to an assessment. It serves as a useful overview for teachers to track students' progress and the completion of tasks.

To create a new checklist, go to the ‘Checklists’ tab from the left pane and click on the ‘Create a new checklist’ button.

Here, you are required to give a title to your checklist and define the criteria as well as the corresponding assessment options that teachers will use to evaluate.

Follow these steps to structure your checklist:

Once you have finished setting up the checklist, click on 'Save' to add the checklist to your school’s library of assessment tool templates.

All checklist templates you create will be displayed on the main page. Here, you can edit, preview, duplicate, or delete a template by clicking on the three dots next to it.

Furthermore, you can adjust the default options of the checklist template using the 'Edit default options' button. It's important to note that these changes will apply to new checklists you create and will not affect any existing checklist templates.

The assessment tool templates that are configured here can be used by teachers while creating class tasks and assessing them.

Teachers can easily select their desired tool(s) by clicking on the ‘+’ icon against the Assessment tool(s) option. Here they have an option to either create a new template or select an existing one.

If they opt for the ‘Select a template’ option, they will see all the existing templates for the chosen assessment tool, and can easily select a template from here.

Furthermore, if they wish to create a new template, they can select the ‘+ Create new’ template option and create a customised template for their chosen assessment tool. They also have the option to save this template to the template library by clicking on the clipboard icon highlighted below.

💡Please note that the levels(column headings) seen in the rubric will be as per the latest ones configured by the school admin from the admin portal.

While saving the template to the template library, teachers can further personalize their assessment tool template by giving it a meaningful title.
