RUBRIC DESIGN. Rubrics are usually linked to the sub-sections of the TOC (the assessment points for artifact presentations) however; they may also be linked to main sections. More than one rubric may be applied to a sub-section (usually used only when there are multiple artifacts that shall be assessed separately). We recommend using one comprehensive rubric for each subsection, rather than many, if it all possible. Rubrics generally include: • The name of the Rubric: The short, but descriptive, name of the assessment. • A general description for the whole rubric (optional): This is presented to the assessor on the screen viewed before they start assessment. It may contain specific instructions, the rationale for the use of the rubric, and even research citations that validate the rubric. • The Assessment regime: This indicates the rules and settings that will govern who will do the assessment, and how it happens. • Department: Users may determine if the rubric and its assessment data is to be associated with a specific department. • Criterion 1: This is the first category of observations users will be making using this rubric and will have multiple levels in it representing each of the different scores that are possible with this rubric. Each criterion that makes up the rubric will consist of the following: - A short title - a common description for this criterion (optional, but may contain a specific outline of the required performance at the highest level, or any other information necessary); - The weighting - pre-set to 1.0, but may be changed if needed to raise or lower the scored weighting for this criterion relative to the other criterion in this rubric; - The level of performance labels - e.g. Weakly Expressed, Evident, Mostly Evident or met / not met, and the scores for each label; - Description - this is where objective attributes of performance are stated. We strongly recommend the use of these detailed performance descriptions. They assist assessors significantly because they present clear criteria and help assessors fix their scoring more accurately given what they are actually seeing. Such detailed performance descriptions also clarify for the student what the nature of their performance is, and the expectations for as yet unachieved levels of performance. Such clarity also reduces inter- rater reliability issues with rubrics, and raises the overall validity, reliability, and accuracy of assessment. This pattern is repeated for all remaining criterion in th...

  • Program Design The County Human Resources Department will operate a Catastrophic Leave Bank which is designed to assist any County employee who has exhausted all paid accruals due to a serious or catastrophic illness, injury, or condition of the employee or family member. The program establishes and maintains a Countywide bank wherein any employee who wishes to contribute may authorize that a portion of his/her accrued vacation, compensatory time, holiday compensatory time or floating holiday be deducted from those account(s) and credited to the Catastrophic Leave Bank. Employees may donate hours either to a specific eligible employee or to the bank. Upon approval, credits from the Catastrophic Leave Bank may be transferred to a requesting employee's sick leave account so that employee may remain in paid status for a longer period of time, thus partially ameliorating the financial impact of the illness, injury, or condition. Catastrophic illness or injury is defined as a critical medical condition, a long-term major physical impairment or disability which manifests itself during employment.

  • Project Design Applicants must design a project that provides access to health services to enable eligible women and men experiencing health needs to secure and maintain safe and accessible quality screening and diagnostic services, comprehensive family planning, and/ or other women’s health services. A. Applicants are encouraged to emphasize the following components in the design of their projects. Projects must: 1.

Require staff to assess and prioritize Client needs; 4. Implement with model fidelity to an evidence-based program or based upon best available research; 5.

Provide referral sources for Clients that cannot be served or receive a specific service; 8. Are culturally and linguistically sensitive; 9.
