Baseline Self-Assessment
The Baseline Self-Assessment is worth 2 points on the rubric. Schools do not have to submit every year unless they choose to do so. Self-Assessments stay valid for 2 years, so if you completed a Self-Assessment in 2024-2025 or 2025-2026, you do not need to submit a new one and you will still receive full points on the scoring rubric.
