Open Educational Resources (OER) offer opportunities for increasing equity and access to high-quality K–12 education. To help states, districts, teachers, and other users determine the degree of alignment of OER to the Core State Standards and to determine aspects of the quality of OER, Achieve has developed eight rubrics in collaboration with leaders from the OER community. The Achieve OER rubric is the evaluation tool built into the eMedia platform, allowing any Utah educator to evaluate resources in the database. This PDF file explains the rubrics.

How can rubrics in Google Assignments/Classroom change how students learn in your classroom?

Students will use the knowledge they learned about 2d shapes to create a short video using iMovie. Students will be grouped together and will take photos of items in the classroom that resemble 2d shapes. Each video must have labels indicating how many sides their shapes have, name of the shape and how many verticies their shape has.
