IEP Rubric
A rubric is a self-assessment tool, which is constructed to review the critical components of a process such as writing IEPs. The
components are described in operational terms from best practice to less acceptable practices. By self-assessing using a rubric a person,
team or staff can reflect on where they are in implementation practices. The domains are listed in the order in which they appear in an IEP.
