Here's Stephen Lazar's Social Studies example.

A wiki set up by Miss Calculate for beginners. It's math-focused.

and another one that's math-focused with a standards-based grading page set up by Julie Reulbach.

Here's the template I use for students to track their scores. It's from Word 2003 (Mac) and I've noticed it gets uglified in newer version. You get the idea though:

Most of what I started with was from Classroom Assessment and Grading that Works by Marzano. The template is obviously based on his example. I can't think of a book I was in love with though. All of the 'gurus' have some good ideas and you'll need to just take what you need. I've gotten a lot of practical stuff from Dylan Wiliam, Susan Brookhart and James Popham.
