ChaklinStart freeRubric generator
Chaklin's rubric generator turns an assignment into a standards-aligned rubric
Give Chaklin the task, the grade band and the standard. It drafts the criteria, the points and the level descriptors — then uses that same rubric to grade student work with evidence for every score.
Works with Common Core, NGSS, TEKS, B.E.S.T., UK National Curriculum, IB and ACARA — or your own pasted standards.

How it works
1. Describe the assignment
Topic, grade band and the standard you are assessing. Or point the generator at a worksheet, quiz or lesson plan you already made in Chaklin.
2. Get a draft rubric
Criteria with point values and plain-language level descriptors, sized to your total points — or set as a formative 4-level scale instead.
3. Edit, then grade with it
Adjust wording and weights, then let Chaklin score submissions against the rubric with per-criterion evidence and student-facing comments you approve before release.
Build the rubric once, grade the whole class
Chaklin scores typed answers, photos of handwritten work and quiz responses against your rubric, drafts comments for each student, and can push approved scores to your Google Classroom gradebook.
