The student performance evaluation is a required component of the skill certification
process. Each student must be evaluated on the required performance objectives
outlined below. Performance objectives may be completed and evaluated at any time
during the course. Students who achieve a 3 or 4 (moderately to highly skilled) on ALL
performance objectives and 80% or higher on the written test will be issued a CTE skill
certification certificate.
Students should be aware of their progress throughout the course so that they can
concentrate on the objectives that need improvement.
Students should be encouraged to repeat the objectives until they have performed
at a minimum of a 3 or 4 (moderately to highly skilled) on all performance
objectives.
When all performance objectives have been achieved at a minimum of a 3 or 4
(moderately to highly skilled) then the student meets the performance part of the
requirements for a Skill Certificate.
If the student scores a 1 or 2 (limited to no skill) on any performance objective then
the student does not meet the performance part of the requirements for a Skill
Certificate.
All performance objectives MUST be completed and evaluated prior to the written test.
The signed Student Performance Evaluation Sheet for each student should be kept in
the teachers file for one year.
