📖 M2 Rubric Builder

The Rubric Builder allows team administrators to customize the criteria used in M2’s feedback during and after teacher activities.

With this tool, teams can add their own scoring criteria from 1 to 5 to complement the default Pacing and Questioning rubrics used by M2.

By controlling which criteria appear in teacher-facing M2 feedback, you can ensure your team’s rubric aligns with district priorities or preferred instructional frameworks.

Default Rubrics

M2 includes two built-in rubric criteria:

1. Questioning – Can be archived but not edited or deleted 

   
    

2. Pacing – Can be archived but not edited or deleted

   

These defaults provide consistency across all teams. Administrators may add additional rubric criteria, but cannot remove or edit these.

Custom Rubric Creation

Administrators can add up to 25 additional criteria to tailor M2 feedback to your priorities.

When creating custom criteria, keep the overall rubric concise. We recommend 3–5 total criteria, including the defaults, to keep scoring clear and manageable.

All rubric criteria use a 0–5 scoring scale, you decide the scoring scale you need.

Required Fields for Each Custom Criterion

Each custom criteria must include the following:

1. Title: A short, clear name for the criterion.
    
2. Description: A 1-2 sentence explanation of what is being evaluated.
    
3. Scoring Descriptors (1–5): Each level must include a complete description of what performance at that level looks like.
    
4. Minimum Character Requirements: Input fields must meet the minimum text length before they can be saved.

Once saved, the custom rubric will show up under the Teacher rubrics with a purple label "Custom". It is immediately applied for generating M2 feedback for new activities and can be archived if needed.

How Rubric Changes Affect M2 Feedback
