Assess understanding of competency-based performance evaluations, including core principles (competency frameworks, validity, reliability), common assessment methods (rubrics, workplace-based assessment, portfolios), how evaluation results are documented and mapped to professional credentialing (certifications, micro-credentials), and implications for career development (feedback, progression planning, continuing professional development). Scope includes evaluating design trade-offs, interpreting evidence for credential decisions, and considering ethical and organizational factors in practical applications.
