Built by a teacher
Pick your standards. Write what Meeting looks like. The other levels draft themselves around it — and you approve every line before a student sees it.
Free to build · No student accounts · Standards libraries from the US and beyond
One rubric, two renderings — same data. Both open with the same sentence, so students know what they're looking at:
Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
Everything in Meeting, plus I test my claim against a counter-claim and show why my evidence still holds.
◎ Your goal — MeetingThe grade-level goal
I can make a clear claim and support it with evidence from two sources.
I can state a claim and include evidence that relates to it.
I can share my opinion and point to one piece of evidence.
Apply knowledge of language to understand how language functions in different contexts, to make effective choices for meaning or style.
Everything in Meeting, plus I judge how well my word choices work together.
◎ Your goal — MeetingThe grade-level goal
I can choose words that carry the exact shade of meaning I want.
I can write clearly, even where my word choice stays general.
I can pick out the words that carry my main idea.
One goal at a time. Meeting is open and marked; every other level is a tap away — and printing opens them all.
Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.

Each goal gets its own grid, with its name as the heading and the official text one click away. The same aspect sits on the same row at every level — only the verb changes, and only the verb is bold.
The layout came out of a research pass on how students with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia actually use rubrics — and it reads better for everyone.
Every standard gets a name in student words. The official text stays one tap away, and unavoidable jargon gets a "Words to know" line up top.
Levels differ by what you do — Explain vs Describe vs Point to — not by adjectives. The verb is the only bold word in the line.
Meeting is marked "◎ Your goal" in every rendering — cards, table, Word download, and print.
No account, no login, nothing to submit. Click through what they'd do:
No names, no sign-ups, nothing to administer.
They read the rubric. That's the whole surface.
The drafting happens on your side, before you publish. Published rubrics are plain text — even the review notes are stripped out.
Projects, standards, classes, publishing, and the entire student side cost nothing — Meeting descriptors even pre-fill straight from the standard's own text. The assisted drafting comes with a small free trial, then plans start at $2.99/month, with a one-time pack if you'd rather not subscribe and school billing for departments.
