Rubrics

Faculty and staff who implement a Connect activity will utilize one or all of Career Connect's rubrics. Each rubric contains four to five questions and provides a rating for each question on a scale of 1 (beginning) to 4 (distinguished). Training on using these rubrics is available through our office.
