SBGR stands for Standards Based Grading and Reporting. It involves measuring learners understanding of a concept on pre-defined standards/objectives. The reporting is done based on these standards/objectives rather than the letter grades as done in the assessment grading method. These are called learning standards/objectives, which provide a baseline that is consistent across all learners at the classroom level. Currently, the SBGR is an instructor driven process and they work with learners to make sure that they learn all of the expected standards they need to and hence improve their mastery level.
Benefits of SBGR
1. Keeps learners and instructors accountable
2. Better feedback to improve the overall mastery level
3. Learners become self-motivated
4. Easily track learners’ mastery

If you are editing an existing assignment, do check if learners have started with an attempt. If some learners have started with an attempt or made a submission, then changes made to the assignment may not update these attempts.
2. In the expanded view, click the Grading block to expand and then click Rubric to open the rubric picker.

You may pick the objectives from other Grade/Subject as per the availability.

12. By default a newly created rubric is a 'scoring' rubric and therefore scores will be associated with each picked objectives.
If required, the default setting for a rubric can be configured from 'scoring' to 'non-scoring' at the site-level. You can contact your admin or write to us for this change.
13. If you don't want a scoring rubric, click the Non-Scoring radio button. The rubric will become a non-scoring rubric and the numbers will stop showing up along with the total score of the rubric.
14. If you don't want to use your self-created criteria or the sample criteria, then you can hover over the criteria and click the trash icon to delete it.
You cannot delete a sample criteria initially when no objectives are picked for that rubric. Once you add an objective, the trash icon will appear for the criteria for deletion. Although, the text - "Sample Criteria" is configurable at site-level and can be changed on request.
15. If you think your rubric is a standard rubric which others can also use, then you can choose to share it with the rubric bank by clicking the Share with rubric bank radio button. Once a rubric is shared with the rubric bank, it will be available for other instructors to add in their assignments.
The descriptor for the rubric criterion is non-editable by default, but can be configured as editable from Teamie's end on request.
16. Click Attach to assign the rubric to the assignment.
17. The rubric will get attached to your assignment and the score will change automatically in case the rubric is a scoring rubric. You can assign the maximum score manually in case the rubric is non-scoring (the default maximum score is 1).
