'Met/Not Met' checklists - While checklists have little statistical value, they are useful to assure that requirements have been met. Use only one criterion and two levels: '0' and '1'. Report these assessments out separately from other assessments, and do not link these checklists to standards. This type of 'gate-keeping' may also require a second tier of assessment. In that case, use the escalation process to advance the submission to another level of assessment. (see 'escalation: Assessment escalation')
Creating a checklist - checklists can be either assessments instruments or forms.
- Creating a scored checklist assessment instrument - a checklist that is created as an assessment instrument is additive. The score on a scored checklist is the sum of all criteria. There are no performance levels, so the assessor enters a single score from a predetermined range of scores (for example, 0-20) into the textbox for each criterion.
- Creating a non-scored checklist. - use a non-scored checklist for keeping track of submissions of required documents, numeric record logs, etc. Use the Form type: 'Portfolio/ Assessment Form' and select the typed in numerical value response type. Results from the form submissions can be viewed by respondent on the 'View Form' screen.
