"This tutorial is intended for CPS instructional designers, content authors, and anyone else who needs information on how to construct instructional rubrics.
The tutorial is divided into three parts, to answer three basic questions:
What exactly is a rubric?
Why do we in CPS use rubrics to grade assignments?
How do content authors and instructional designers build a rubric for a specific assignment?
At the end of this tutorial is advice on how to grade with rubrics, both holistic and analytic types. If you are here only for that information, you may want to jump straight to "The Last Piece: Grading with a Rubric.""

More teaching, less tech-ing
Welcome to a preview of Classroom, a new tool coming to Google Apps for Education. Classroom weaves together Google Docs, Drive and Gmail to help teachers create and organize assignments quickly, provide feedback efficiently, and communicate with their classes with ease.

Classroom was designed hand-in-hand with teachers to help them save time, keep classes organized, and improve communication with students.
