Sub criteria-Subsections of the rubric that describe each major criterion in detail. (The sub criteria often describe the details or specific skills students need to learn to possess the major criteria-Each major criterion generally contains two to six sub criteria that define it which can often be turned in to criteria for lesson planning.

Using Rubric Information to Assist in Writing IEPs Depending on the needs and abilities of each individual, different parts of a rubric are included in a goal and objectives. For higher functioning individuals: the rubric title is usually written as the annual goal the major criteria are written as the objectives, and the sub criteria are the details or specific skills on which lessons or instruction is focused.

the sub criteria are the objectives Using Rubric Wording to Write Goals and Objectives for Lower Functioning Students For lower functioning students: rubrics are often broken down so that a major criterion is the annual goal the sub criteria are the objectives
