Create a Framework

The framework is a scale and structure put together. Once a framework is created, rubric data can be added to complete the framework.

To use the Framework Designer wizard, follow these steps.

1. From the Observation tab, select Manage frameworks.
   

   

2. From the Frameworks tab to the right of the screen, click Create framework.
   

   

3. In the pop-up window, enter the framework name.
   

   

4. Select the scale, structure, and scale level from the menus. Select carefully; these cannot be changed once you save.
5. Click Save. The pop-up window will close and the Framework Designer wizard will appear.
6. Enter a framework description. Edit the name if necessary.
   

   

7. Optionally enter a title for the scale. Click Add a scale section to add another scale to each element.
8. Click Next.
9. Define the rubrics for each rating for every scale in the framework.
   

   

   
   
   1. Enter the rubric data for the rating.
   2. Click the pencil icon to access an advanced text editor.

   3. Enter a number and click Add rubric item to add that number of rubric data rows.

      

      To support the use of a checkable rubric, each checkable item must be created as its own rubric item here.

   4. Click the small x icon to remove a rubric data row.
10. When all rubric data is complete, click Finish. You will be returned to the Frameworks tab.
