Create an editable rubric or marking grid with observable criteria, clear performance descriptors and optional scoring.
About this tool
Create an editable rubric or marking grid with task-specific criteria, distinct performance descriptors, flexible scoring and a learner self-assessment checklist.
About this AI Rubric and Marking Grid Generator
Define the age phase, subject, task and learning objective, then choose an analytic, holistic or single-point structure. The tool creates an editable assessment resource using terminology that works across UK and US settings.
Criteria Aligned to the Learning
Each criterion is designed around observable evidence in the submitted task rather than assumptions about behaviour, effort or ability. Review the completed grid to confirm that every row measures the intended knowledge or skill.
Clear Performance Descriptors and Scoring
Choose three to five performance levels and use points, percentage weightings or descriptors only. Adjacent levels are written to show meaningful progression, but all totals and local grading decisions still need teacher verification.
Ready for Teacher and Learner Use
The rubric opens directly in the document editor with feedback prompts and a plain-language self-assessment checklist. Edit descriptors, scoring and terminology before using it for marking, grading, moderation or learner feedback.

Information to provide for the best results
- The age phase, subject, task and learning objective.
- The rubric type and required numbers of criteria and performance levels.
- Whether scoring should use points, weightings or descriptors only.
What the tool creates
- An editable rubric or marking grid with observable task-specific criteria.
- Distinct performance descriptors or single-point evidence columns in a consistent table.
- Teacher feedback prompts and a learner self-assessment checklist.
Review before use
- Check that every criterion measures the intended learning rather than behaviour or presentation alone.
- Compare adjacent descriptors for clear, fair and observable progression.
- Verify points, totals, weightings and alignment with local assessment policy.
Practical examples
- Create a four-level analytic rubric for a persuasive writing task.
- Build a descriptors-only marking grid for a science investigation report.
- Generate a single-point rubric for a group presentation with learner self-assessment.
- Create a shared US/UK-friendly rubric that uses both performance descriptors and a simple points scale.
- Draft a marking grid whose criteria align directly with a supplied learning objective and task brief.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a rubric and a marking grid?
- The terms often describe the same assessment resource. Rubric is especially common in the US, while marking grid or assessment criteria may be more familiar in the UK.
- Can I choose analytic, holistic or single-point formats?
- Yes. Select the structure that best fits how the task will be assessed and how detailed the feedback should be.
- Can the tool calculate percentages or points?
- It can draft points or weightings, but teachers should verify every total and ensure the scheme matches local assessment policy.
- Does the rubric include learner self-assessment?
- Yes. The output includes a short learner-friendly checklist aligned to the same criteria.
- Can it avoid numerical scoring?
- Yes. Select descriptors only when points, grades or percentages are not appropriate.
