[|Rubistar]


 * INTRODUCTION**

Rubistar is a great tool to make a rubric to use for assessment in the classroom. It is a great resource for all grade levels and subjects. Teachers can easily score perfomance based learning projects. This allows the teacher to be non-biased with scoring the projects at different levels. This breaks down the levels and the specific criteria to score in each level. It is a great way for teachers to not only score, but express his/her expectations when assigning a project. This assures reliability in results. Rubistar allows the teacher to create objective and consistent scoring guides to use in the classroom.

You need to create a free account log-in with Rubistar to begin. This site allows you to find or create your own rubric. Unfortunately, it is not possilbe to edit pre-made rubrics. It does give many prompts to help create your own. Some examples of prompts are subjects, maps, posters, etc. It is user friendly to assist in creating a personalized rubric in an organized way instead of using charts in Word. Once a rubric is created, it can be easily printed and it is saved to the site to be shared with others.




 * THE BENEFITS OF USING RUBISTAR IN YOUR CLASSROOM**

Teachers registered with Rubistar have a profile that saves his/her rubrics to modify from project to project or year to year. It then allows modification without reinventing the wheel or losing the document. Another great online organizational instrument to create and manage your teaching tools. WIth the new push towards project based learning and common assessments, this could benefit collaboration of common grading of the common assessments. It also makes project based learning easier to grade objectively. This is an easy tool for teachers to use to assess students.

I have made a rubric using RUBISTAR that I will use in my poetry webquest.
