Advises

Panels

Four panels advise the Review Board. Each one reviews a different part of the work: the method, practice in organisations, the assessment tools, and the work with cities.

Panel

Method panel

Reviews how people are scored: the rubric, the level descriptions, the scoring rules and the checks that test them.

Panel

Practice panel

Reads the Standard against operating reality in regulated industries, public agencies and enterprises, and tells the board what an employer would rely on.

Panel

Instrument panel

Reviews the assessment tools: how a tool is approved, how it records what people do, and the rules that keep results honest.
