What Is a Rubric Template?

Rubric templates are widely used in education, business, and hiring to ensure consistent, objective, and transparent assessment across multiple evaluators or submissions.

Our Rubric Template lets you score any project, assignment, or presentation across multiple criteria. 

What’s included

  • Four-tier scoring structure with point values: The column headers are pre-labeled as Excellent (4), Good (3), Fair (2), and Poor (1), giving you a ready-made numeric scale so you can define performance descriptors for each criterion without having to build a grading scale from scratch.
  • Dedicated Criteria and Score columns: The leftmost column provides blank rows for listing each evaluation criterion, while the far-right Score column gives you a clean, isolated space to record the final point value awarded for each row, keeping your grading standards and results visually separated.
  • 40+ pre-formatted blank rows: The template comes with dozens of ready-to-use rows, so you can immediately start typing in criteria and descriptors for a multi-item rubric without adjusting row heights or borders.

Add or remove rows and columns as needed to fit your specific evaluation needs.
