Introduction
The Behavior Rubric is a crucial part of your points system in LiveSchool, providing guidelines and categories for recording student behaviors. This guide will help you create and edit your Behavior Rubric to fit your school's specific needs.
Note: Only Admin users can edit the Behavior Rubric.
Changes will be instantly applied to all users within the school.
Step-by-Step Guide
STEP 1: Go to the "Edit Behavior Rubric" Screen
From the Setup screen, click on "Edit Behavior Rubric."
STEP 2: Delete Unwanted Categories and Behaviors
On the Edit Rubric screen, click the Red X next to the category or behavior you wish to delete.
Important Notes:
Students will not lose any points when Behaviors and Categories are deleted.
Deleted Behaviors will be labeled as "Deleted Item" on the Timeline, but the full Behavior name will remain visible in Points Logs.
Deleted Behaviors will not be filterable in Timeline or Scoreboards.
If all Behaviors are deleted, you must add new ones before logging out. A blank Rubric prevents logging into LiveSchool.
If you experience login issues after clearing your Rubric,
please contact support@liveschoolinc.com.
STEP 3: Create a New Category
Click on "New Category" and type the name of the new category.
Tips:
Group related behaviors for easier data insights.
Hide specific categories when issuing points by clicking the "Hide" button next to each behavior.
Categories are sorted alphabetically. Use a number in front of the category name to sort numerically.
STEP 4: Add a New Behavior
Click on "New Behavior."
STEP 5: Set the Behavior Name
Enter a behavior name with a maximum of 32 characters.
Note: The behavior name will be displayed on the Rubric and
in your Insights reports.

Set the Behavior to "Positive/Negative," "Positive Only," or "Negative Only."
Note: The option to subtract points for negative behavior is turned off by default.
STEP 7: Set the Point Value
Enter a numerical value for the point.
Tip: Assign different point values to encourage desired behaviors.
STEP 8 (Optional): Set Behavior Notifications
Click on "Add teachers or administrators" to configure behavior notifications.
