Sara,
Others are sharing others resources as well, so I'm sure you'll find some that meets your need. Keep moving forward in using rubrics. Thanks!
Saudat,
Great resource. Thanks so much for putting that out there for everyone to use.
Hello Dr. Crews and colleagues, ïŠ
As I’ve previously mentioned, I’m new to creating rubrics. The text mentions several: Rubistar, Rcampus Rubric Gallery; Word Processing and Spreadsheet Software. I’ll begin with these Websites and resources and assess their effectiveness with my students.

the University of Minnesota's Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA)provides a comprehensive guide on developing multiple types of rubrics on their website.

Janette,
Thanks for the link and I am thrilled you are excited about the use of rubrics in your classroom. Thanks.
A quick google search yields many possibilities. I'm excited to take a more in-depth look at rubistar, but in the past, Ive used irubric:

Michael,
And, what did you do after that? Since you started here - where did you "end up?" Thanks!
I started off using a site called Authentic Assessment Toolbox

Nathan,
Thanks for the resource. We find many online and we have to make sure to assess what we find. Thanks!
I don't use online resources but I found a few in a short review. I thought this one provided some rich content without waxing the elephant or going too academic. It focuses heavily on success criteria.

A growing trend is for teachers to share their rubrics through an online marketplace like the link below. No reason to reinvent the wheel if there are are successful rubrics out there that can be repurposed and used again.

Alan,
You are right. Going to the Internet can provide some good rubric examples and those to work from. Thanks!
There are specific websites such as Rubistar and Rcampus rubric gallery. Google may be able to provide some sites as well.
Melinda ,
You are right. We can find a lot of information online and then tweak it to our needs. It's important we adjust it to meet the learning outcomes. Thanks!
I have relied heavily on what I find online. Even if the rubric isn't perfectly customized, it provides a good place to start and then I can make the necessary changes.
Sabahudin,
Right. The criteria are essential. Without appropriate categories and criteria, the rubric will not be as beneficial to the students or instructor. Thanks!
I think that every assignment is particular, and has to be measured with a specific rubric that is specifically created for the assignment in question. I would not use something general as a copy and paste option. Instead, I would use it as a foundation on which to build my categories. I would custom craft it for the assignment I am working on. What are some of the worst rubrics that you have seen?
Catherine,
Thanks for the resource and reminding us we can use the Internet to help us explore the topic. Thanks so much!
Hello,
One suggestion was to Google the topic and many resources would come up and another was to go to Rcampus Rubric Gallery.
Aaron,
Thanks for the link/resource. It's good to see some rubrics others use for examples, but make sure you tweak them to meet your specific needs and the needs of your students - aligned with the learning objectives. Thanks!
