As you begin collecting evidence and coding it, you will discover how handy the Rubric Navigator is! It helps to track the evidence you are collecting. You can use various filters to view the evidence that you are collecting in different ways.

The previous article covered how to code evidence. This article will provide some introductory information about the Rubric Navigator and how to understand what it's doing while you code evidence.

The Rubric Navigator appears on the right side of your screen when you are working with evidence. As you code evidence, it will quantify the evidence for each domain/dimension and their components. As you can see in the image below:

1. In the Prompt Responses section on the left, there are two sections of the teacher's response that have been coded...one to component 1c ... and the other to component 1f. Both of those components are nested in Domain 1 of the Danielson framework.
2. The Rubric Navigator on the right has tracked two pieces of evidence that have been coded (collected) in the row for Danielson's Domain 1, and under the column entitled Collected.  

To drill down a little more into the Rubric Navigator, you can click on the D1 cell and reveal the components. You'll see that the evidence has been broken down and quantified for each component in that domain. See the image below.

Teacher responses to prompts, observation notes, and artifacts can all be coded as evidence. And as more evidence is collected for this teacher's evaluation, the Rubric Navigator will help by quantifying it by domain and component; by performance scores, and by type (collected vs. packaged).

More information about packaged evidence can be found in the Observe chapter of this manual.
