Use Monsha's AI-powered Rubric Generator to build clear, context-aligned rubrics in minutes. You can customise point scales, criteria, and performance levels, then export to Google Sheets, Google Docs, DOCX, PDF, XLSX, or send the rubric straight to Google Classroom.
Step 1: Log in to Monsha
Go to Monsha.
Sign up or log in to your account. It only takes a few clicks.
Step 2: Open the Rubric Generator
From the tools grid on the homepage, pick Rubric Generator — the tile with the rubric icon. This is the tool you'll use whenever you need a structured, exportable rubric.
Step 3: Describe what you need and add your sources
This is where you tell Monsha what to assess. The clearer the context, the more useful the rubric.
1. Type your prompt in the Describe your requirement… field. Be specific about the assignment: subject, format, what you're grading for.
2. Pull in your sources using the Attach dropdown right below the textarea. You can combine as many as you need:
Video — drop in a YouTube link and Monsha will use the transcript.
File — upload PDFs, DOCX, slides, spreadsheets, or images.
Website — link to articles, lesson pages, or any URL.
Text — paste in raw text directly.
Monsha Resource — pull in a lesson plan, worksheet, or any other resource you've already created.
3. Reuse a past prompt with the History button (next to Attach). It opens Prompt History, a list of the prompts you've written for this tool with timestamps — useful when you're building a series of rubrics for the same unit.
Step 4: Set the grade and language
Both are required.
Grade — Monsha's grade picker is now a three-step picker. First choose an Education System (United States / Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, India / South Asia, IB, Cambridge, Age-Based, or University / Tertiary), then the sub-level (Elementary, Middle School, High School, etc.), then the specific grade. Pick the system your school uses so the rubric language matches what students and parents expect.
Language — leave on English or pick from 60+ supported languages. The rubric will be generated in that language.
Step 5: Configure the rubric
Configure Resource is required for the Rubric Generator — you'll see a small red dot on the button until you set it. Click in and pick one of two paths.
Minimal Effort — fastest path. You give Monsha:
A list of high-level criteria in the textarea (e.g., "Clarity of writing, creativity, accuracy of data, teamwork, problem-solving skills"). A History button below the textarea lets you reuse criteria you've entered before.
A Point scale — 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 levels.
Monsha fills in everything else: criterion descriptions, achievement levels, and point values.
Full Control — for when you already know exactly what you want.
Add each criterion with a short title (1-3 words like "clarity of writing").
Set Points (1-100) per criterion.
Set Number of levels (3-7).
Use + Add a criterion for more rows, or the trash icon to remove one.
When you're done, click Save Configuration.
Step 6: Align to your curriculum (optional)
Click More Options for three optional alignment controls:
Attach to course — file the rubric under a specific course, unit, or lesson so it stays organized alongside your other resources.
Assign standards — pick from built-in frameworks (Common Core, NGSS, IB, and more) or enter your own custom standards.
Adapt to framework — fine-tune the rubric using Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Levels, Lexile Reading Levels, or Bloom's Taxonomy. Hover the chevron to expand the submenu.
You can always skip this and align the rubric later.
Step 7: Generate
Click Generate. If you want Monsha to pull in current online context (recent articles, standards updates, examples), flip on the Web search toggle to the right of the Generate button first.
Monsha will return:
Criterion titles and short descriptions.
Achievement levels with specific point values.
A context-aligned rubric ready for review.
What you can do after generating the rubric
The resource page has two cards. The top one — the title card — handles metadata, sharing, and re-creation. The card below it holds the rubric content and the editing/export controls.
1. Chat with your rubric
The chat bar at the bottom of the page is a continuous thread, like ChatGPT. Type into Reply here to keep going to ask Monsha to revise criteria, add descriptors, adapt the rubric for different groups, or rebalance the point scale.
The buttons left of the textarea:
Attach — drop in another source mid-conversation.
Quick prompts — pre-written instructions you can click instead of typing. For rubrics: Create another variation, Focus more on, Add more → (Criteria, Criteria details), Reduce →, Difficulty →, Change tone →.
The icons right of the textarea:
Globe — toggles web search for that message. Hover tooltip: "Searches the internet to help generate content."
Send arrow — submit your message.
2. Edit the rubric
Click Edit at the top-right of the content card. The rubric opens in Monsha's rich-text editor with a full toolbar:
The + Insert dropdown adds Paragraph, Heading 1 / 2 / 3, Table, Code, Quote, Divider, Bulleted list, Numbered list, or To-do list blocks.
Standard formatting: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, alignment, lists, link, table controls, image, indent.
The title field at the top is editable too — rename the rubric inline.
Click Save when you're done, or Cancel to back out.
3. Export the rubric
Click Export at the top-right of the content card. The Export Resource modal opens with six options:
Export to Google Docs
Export to Google Sheets
Share to Google Classroom — sends the rubric straight to a Classroom assignment.
Download as DOCX
Download as PDF
Download as XLSX
4. Differentiate the rubric
Click More at the top-right of the content card and choose Differentiate. The Differentiate Resource modal gives you five ways to adapt the rubric for different learners:
Translate — into any supported language.
Adjust Grade Level — raise or lower the rubric to a different grade.
Adjust DOK Level — shift the cognitive demand.
Adjust Lexile Reading Level — match a reading band.
Adapt to Bloom's Taxonomy — re-anchor the rubric to a Bloom's level.
5. More actions
The content card's More menu (top-right, next to Export) also gives you:
Copy — duplicate the rubric as a new resource.
Create more resources based on this output — generate a worksheet, lesson plan, or any other resource type using this rubric as context.
Show sources — see which inputs Monsha used to build the rubric.
Delete — remove the rubric from your library.
The title card has its own More menu in the top-right with two options:
See Prompt — view the original prompt you wrote.
Create based on this — start a new rubric using the same prompt as a starting point.
6. Organize and revisit
Use the Belongs to row under the chips to file the rubric under a course, unit, or lesson — click Change to pick one.
All your rubrics live in My Resources (the breadcrumb at the top of any resource page), available whenever you need them.
Click Share in the title card to copy a public link, toggle public discoverability, or email the rubric to colleagues.
