Reference Rating
Reference ratings for Endorsement® are critically important. They are our primary source for documenting an applicant's skills in the domains of Reflection, Working with Others, and Thinking. Each Endorsement® category requires three professional Reference Ratings. For every category, one of the reference ratings must come from a current supervisor. There is a process established for vetting a reference rater who is not endorsed to determine whether the proposed rater is sufficiently familiar with the Competency Guidelines® to rate the applicant's knowledge and skills as defined within.
Reviewing the questions on the reference rating form is recommended for both applicants and raters. These questions can be used in supervision sessions to mutually assess the applicant's professional progress.
