Competency & 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. Exploring and self-assessing is free. Exporting a written report needs a paid plan.
Select a competency above to open its rubric and start assessing.

Browsing the rubrics and self-assessing are free, forever. Exporting a written assessment report needs a paid plan (Practitioner plan and up).
