The picker says **Limit of 10 standards — remove one to add another**. * The class needs standard sets first. Without them the picker says **Choose your class's standard sets first**. * Tagging changes nothing about how the work is graded. It adds a summary; grading works the same without tags. ## Why it matters Tagging is what turns grading into evidence. A criterion tagged with a standard sends every score on it to that standard's row on the class Standards tab. Untagged work contributes nothing there. ## Tag a criterion or a question On the rubric editor or the questions editor, each card ends with a row labelled **Standards**. Select the wand \[1], **Suggest standards**. Each suggestion appears as a chip with a confidence pill and a tick to accept or a cross to dismiss. Or select **Add** to open **Tag standards**, search or browse the tree, tick standards, and select **Done**. Save the rubric or the questions as usual. The chips stay on the card. To tag a whole assignment rather than one criterion, the **Standards this assignment targets** field on the Details or Handout step and in Instant's **Standards focus** section takes up to ten; suggestions for each criterion start from those. ## Tagging work that's already graded Grades don't change. The standard's row on the Standards tab picks up the existing scores the next time it recalculates, so a class that was graded before you tagged still gets its evidence. ## How to tell it worked The card shows the standard chips, the assignment's **Standards** tab reads **Covers N standards for N students**, and the class Standards tab has a row per tagged standard once work is graded. ## If something goes wrong "No confident matches found for this rubric." Narrow the class's sets to one grade or strand, or tag by hand. The class has no standard sets. Select **Select standard sets** in the picker, or set them up on the class's Standards tab. It's in a set the class hasn't chosen. Select **Change standard sets** at the bottom of the picker. ## Related tasks * [Set up standards for a class](/teachers/insights/standards-setup) * [Build a rubric](/teachers/create/build-a-rubric) * [Track standards mastery](/teachers/insights/mastery) Opens GradingPal on the screen this page describes.
