Panel Grading for rubric assessments allows multiple educators to grade a student’s rubric assessment. This allows for the standardized administration and grading of the Defense of Learning (DoL) presentations by the fifth, eighth, and eleventh grade students at Jefferson County Public Schools. Each panelist's score is averaged to calculate the student's final grade.
Assign a Rubric Assessment with Panel Graders
The Defense of Learning assessments are managed in the assigned assessments list for each applicable class.
Additional panelists can be added at any time by any administrator at the school or the teacher of record.
Panelists can also be removed at any time.
To add panelists to an existing rubric assessment:
Access the assessment’s settings by opening the desired assessment and clicking the ellipsis menu (...) in the top-right corner.
Navigate to the Settings option from the dropdown menu.
Locate the Panel Grading section in the settings.
Type the name or email address of the desired educators in the Select Panelists field and select them as they appear in the dropdown.
Save changes after selecting all desired panelists.
Grade a Defense of Learning Rubric
Defense of Learning rubric assessments are graded for each student by the teacher of record and the educators assigned as panelists.
Occasionally, scoring issues arise such as panelists being unable to score assessments or only viewing the "Panel Average." These often occur if the panelist is not properly added to the assessment.
