About the ACATE Rubrics

Note: These instructions will walk you through assessing your students using the ACATE rubrics in a Blackboard Original course. If you are in a Blackboard Ultra course, instructions may be found here: Assessing Students with the ACATE Rubrics (Blackboard Ultra).

Beginning in Fall 2023 the University will begin using rubrics built into the myLesley/Blackboard courses to collect assessment data for the Expressive Therapies program and for accreditation purposes. 

The core courses that require key assignment assessments will have a rubric added into their Blackboard courses.  This rubric is not visible to the students and does not contribute to their course grade.  

If your course was not copied from the development shell or a previous course containing the rubric, you may need to add the rubrics to your course. If the rubrics are not already in your course, use the Adding the ACATE Rubrics to your myLesley Course instructions to add the rubrics and Grade Center columns.
