Goal 3 Module 4 Application Activity

Take action: Reflect on your identification process.

Think back on the takeaways from Woo et al. (2023) and consider YOUR identification system:

• What constructs matter in your system?
  • How are these constructs developed in the program?
• What assessments are used?
  • How reliable are the assessments?
  • Do you heavily rely on recommendations or other subjectively scored assessments?
• How are assessments used in your identification process?
