What is the Assessment Rubric?
An Assessment Rubric is the “yard stick” used to measure the success of the interpretive elements of a particular interpretive product. Each module, except Module 101, has an assessment rubric. In order to demonstrate successful performance in the Interpretive Research benchmark competency, the annotated bibliography and questionnaires submitted indicate that: Resource meanings have been thoroughly researched and referenced and the audiences’ interests have been adequately identified, considered, and referenced; and that Resource meanings presented meet the researched interests of the audiences and supports opportunities for those audiences to make their own intellectual and emotional connections to the meanings and significance inherent in the resource. Certifiers will compare submissions to the standard above to determine whether a product demonstrates competency in this module. Elements such as presentation technique, accuracy, appropriateness of the topic, etc., are not evaluated.
