Scoring Rubrics (scoring guides), Courtesy of Susan Harris

• RubiStar is a tool to help the teacher who wants to use rubrics but does not have the time to develop them from scratch. Sample rubrics can be modified and saved.
• This site focuses on checklists rather than rubrics. However, a checklist is often a good place to begin the process of developing a rubric.
