Today, I am going to share with you some resources that relate to scoring guides, or rubrics, which can help differentiate learning with respect to assessment. Scoring guides and rubrics are great ways to assess projects that may not be as objective in nature (i.e. multiple choice exams) so that accountable consistency can take place when assessing big assignments with less than clear-cut answers.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">RubiStar – <a href="http://rubistar.4teachers.org/">http://rubistar.4teachers.org</a></span></b></p> <p style="margin-left: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">This is my go-to site for creating scoring guides for class projects. You can start with a template rubric that you can then customize to your needs and then you can save it for future use or editing. Best part of this site is that it is 100% free.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">iRubrics - <a href="http://www.rcampus.com/indexrubric.cfm">http://www.rcampus.com/indexrubric.cfm</a>?</span></b></p> <p style="margin-left: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">This is another free rubric generation site. I haven’t looked closely at it but it looks similar to RubiStar.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">Roobrix – <a href="http://www.roobrix.com/">http://www.roobrix.com</a></span></b></p> <p style="margin-left: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">If you rely heavily on scoring guides or rubrics to assess student work, this site is a MUST HAVE. Teachers who tend to use rubrics for grading can inadvertently cheat students out of a grade if they simply use the number of points earned divided by the total possible points. Check this site out to learn more how it works and how it can better generate scores that are more in line.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">Assessment and Rubric Information - <a href="http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schrockguide/assess.html">http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schrockguide/assess.html</a></span></b></p> <p style="margin-left: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">This site contains a huge amount of information and resources relating to using scoring guides and rubrics.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold;">General Articles about Rubrics and Scoring Guides<br /> </span></b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">from <a href="http://www.bestteachersites.com/web_tools/rubrics/">http://www.bestteachersites.com/web_tools/rubrics/</a></span></p> <ol type="1"> <li style=""><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/10rubricuses.html">10 Uses for Rubrics You Never Thought Of </a></span></li> <li style=""><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/effectiverubrics.html">5 Features of a Highly Effective Rubric </a></span></li> <li style=""><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/elementaryrubrics.html">How Rubrics Make Elementary Teachers Day Easy! </a></span></li> <li style=""><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/secondaryrubrics.html">How Rubrics Make Middle School and High School Teachers Day Easy!</a> </span></li> <li style=""><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/rubricscoring.html">How Rubrics Make Scoring Quick And Easy</a></span></li> <li style=""><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/rubricoutline.html">How to Create an Outline for a Rubric</a></span></li> <li style=""><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/5minuterubric.html">How to Make a Rubric in Less Than 5 Minutes</a></span></li> <li style=""><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/rubricswork.html">How to Tell If Your Rubric Works?
