New Measure has created its Rubric software to help teachers align their academic standards, performance tasks, criteria, rubrics (scoring guides), and lessons. With precision and ease, teachers sharpen their assessment design skills and discover that the challenges of performance assessment can be more effectively managed through the use of these work templates and tools.

The heart of performance assessment, designing criteria and scoring guides is facilitated through the use of "Rubric Templates". Users are able to tap into this software's extensive database and search for holistic or analytic criteria, 3, 4, and 5 level rubric scales or add their own performance criteria/indicators
