ImpactMojo DataverseCompetency & Learning Rubrics
Sixteen competencies that development work runs on — critical thinking, ethical reasoning, working with numbers and evidence, communication, teamwork, and learning across cultures — each broken into criteria and four performance levels. Use them to assess a person, a proposal, a training outcome, or a programme, and to make "capacity" concrete instead of vague. Pick a competency, read the rubric, self-assess, and export.
How the four levels work. Each criterion is scored on a shared scale — 1 Benchmark (entry), 2 & 3 Milestone (developing), 4 Capstone (accomplished). Click the cell that best describes the person or programme you're assessing. Your selections are saved in this browser; nothing is uploaded.
