When I took the class "Curricular Planning" I was introduced to the site rubistar.com. I cannot say enough great things about this site. This site is so easy to use, and can be used by any teachers to create ANY type of rubric they want. You can choose any subject, put in your own expectations or use a pre-formed template. You can be as creative as you want. Not only is this a uer friendly site but its FREE! This makes is worthwhile for teachers to use as much as possible!
I have used rubistar probably for about twenty rubrics so far and plan to use it in the future for more. If you havent ever used it before check it out... its worth a sneak peak!
Three cheers for rubistar!
My name is Pam and I am a grad student at MSMC. I am passionate about teaching young children and I am so thankful for everything I have learned thus far at MSMC. My blog is titled Teaching to Learn and Learning to Teach because I believe that we are all lifelong learners. As we move into our careers as teachers we will be continuously learning from our peers and students. Happy blogging!

Pam, I couldn't agree more with what you said about Rubistar. It's a very useful program. Have you considered involving students in the creation of rubrics using Rubistar? If so, how would you go about designing those lessons?

Pam, I have never used Rubistar before and I love it. It is so easy to use and do. This site will save us future teachers alot of hours of work. Since we have access to this great free site, would you every do a bunch of rubics with other teachers and save them in a file for all to use in the future?
