* This represents a summary worksheet for auditors. One or more types of assessment evidence should be available for each of the ten competencies. It is suggested that a general rating rubric be prepared to ultimately show both the type of evidence reviewed and, more importantly, the quality of that evidence. For example, the final chart might have a box filled in with "lesson plans" and a quality rating. As of this date no such rubric exist.
