How does the Grading Rubric Builder work?

Generate a printable grading rubric PDF from a simple criterion list and a set of performance levels (Exemplary / Proficient / Developing / Beginning by default — customise to your school's scale). The output is a landscape grid: criteria down the left, weight column, then one column per performance level. Print, fill in scores by hand or scan and annotate digitally. Total-weight check tells you if your weights sum to 100% so you do not accidentally publish an under-weighted rubric.

Frequently asked

Not in v1 — cells are blank for hand-scoring. A descriptor-per-cell version (so you have language for what each level looks like) is on the roadmap.
