This is a rubric template (take-off from Marzano model) built around Social Studies units, classroom textbook, and state standards. I started by listing all the 'DELTA' standards that would be covered in that unit, and listing them first on the rubric. Some standards repeat themselves on all units, such as map skills (G.1-1). The rubric reads from bottom up. I build the rest of the skills, assignments, readings, projects, and assessments by using the textbook and supplemental materials. Each unit takes approximately 3-4 weeks, depending on the depth of instruction and student interest.

Example of Social Studies unit rubric completed, which will guide both teacher and student in seeing the "big picture" and encourage self-pacing and self-corrections and improvement.
