We used to score each application using an interactive scoring tool. Each "Poor" rating got 0 points, each "good" got 1 point, and each "excellent" got 2 points, for a total of 20 possible points. We no longer use the scoring tool and, in the interest of time, have switched to a more subjective star rating. We only have sites that score 3 stars and above (good, better, best).
Need some clarification? Oregon Public Education Network has an online scoring tool that makes it crystal clear! |
