Leadership Rubric

A multi-tenant platform school districts use to evaluate principals and school leaders, with the evidence attached to every score.

The Leadership Rubric usage dashboard, showing districts, evaluations, completion rate, seats in use, active people, and a chart of evaluations over time.

Overview

When a principal's evaluation is questioned, the district has to show where every score came from. Leadership Rubric gives each district its own space to run evaluations: evaluators score each part of the rubric with the evidence attached, coordinators manage rosters, rubric versions, and scoring weights, and principals read their finished evaluations and respond to them.

I designed and built it end to end, from the domain model to the servers it runs on: the API, the web app, the marketing site, and the pipelines that deploy them. Each district is a tenant in a shared database, with per-seat licensing, encrypted backups a district can preview before restoring, and scheduled deletion that warns the district a month and again a week before anything is removed.

Highlights

Tenant isolation in the data layer: EF Core query filters scope every query to its district, so no feature has to remember to
Scores a district can defend: rubric versions never change once used, unrated items are left out instead of counted as zero, and every score stays as it was calculated at submission
Passwordless sign-in with one-time codes through Microsoft Entra External ID
Azure DevOps pipelines that back up the database before every migration and deploy to IIS, behind more than 1,700 unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
