This site provides an invaluable Webbased tool to help teachers develop rubrics. RubiStar lets teachers choose the type of project they would like to assess and suggests measures and categories for assessment. After a free registration, users can also save their rubrics online and analyze rubric data for an entire class by entering students’ scores. Please see “Performance Assessments” on page 20 for more details on rubric-based assessment.
