Engage
Rating: a scale the whole room can answer
Rating is a Sendsteps question type. Students score a statement on a scale, for example stars or a Likert range. Every student takes part. You see how confident, agreed, or ready the group is, without a show of hands.
How it feeds the loop
The scale is a Validate picture of the group, not only the loudest voices. A low cluster is a signal to slow down. Improve can work from that pattern. AI recommends, teachers decide.
Questions about Rating
Frequently asked questions about Rating in Sendsteps
What is Rating in Sendsteps?
Rating is a question type in Engage. Students score one or more statements on a scale. The whole group answers on their own devices.
Is this the same as a Poll?
A Poll is a choice among options. Rating is a score on a scale. Use Rating when you need intensity or agreement, not a single pick.
Do quieter students have to speak?
No. Everyone answers on their own device. Equal voice for every student, not only the hands that go up.
Can the answers feed Validate?
Yes. The distribution on the scale belongs to the lesson and can sit in Validate as evidence of how the group felt or understood.
