show it, date it, keep it current
Drawn for this page. Each competency needs one strong, dated piece of evidence that shows it in practice.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with your initials or staff code and today’s date.
  2. Say what the evidence is for and name the framework.
  3. Add each competency with its strongest dated evidence.
  4. Judge each one met, partly or not yet.
  5. Plan the next evidence you will gather from the gaps.

What the organizer is for

Strong evidence

Evidence is strongest when it shows the skill in a real session: an observation, before-and-after student work, or progress data. A certificate shows that you trained, not that the training changed your practice.

A mix, kept current

Different kinds of evidence check each other. Evidence more than a couple of years old may no longer describe how you work; refresh it.

What this is not

The organizer does not award a credential or decide whether evidence is accepted. The organization that sets the competencies does.
