ILE/Capstone Rubric

Competency Integration & Written Communication

Student Name:

ILE Mentor Name:

Project Title:

Date:

Students: Complete an assessment table for each of the 4 competencies you are demonstrating and synthesizing

through your ILE (2 foundational; 2 concentration), as well as one about the synthesis of competencies in your

ILE document (see 5 pages, below).

**It is highly recommended that each student use this rubric template as a tool in early planning stages in order

to plan for satisfactory demonstration and integration of competencies in their ILE.**

The first draft of this rubric (with all 5 table templates complete) is due in March (see Canvas for date), in

Canvas and to the Faculty Mentor.

Based on feedback from your ILE Mentor (using the First Draft Review Worksheet)), the final draft of your

Competency Defense Rubric is due in April, along with the final draft of your ILE document (see Canvas for

date).

Scoring: After submitting your final draft and rubric, your Mentor will score your ILE document based on (a)

Competency Defense Rubric—4 competencies + synthesis (half of the total score for your ILE, up to 20 points);

and, (b) Written Communication Rubric—5 other elements (half of the total score for your ILE, up to 20

points). You must score at least a 3 for each element (10 elements) to pass the ILE; if you score below a 3 on

any of these elements, you will need to make necessary revisions, no later than the end of the semester exam

period.

Competence: The ability to integrate and apply relevant skill(s) and knowledge.

Complete one for each of 4 competencies.
