Module 5:

Consider a past (or current) performance issue you've observed in an organization in which you've worked. Describe the situation (while maintaining confidentiality), and based upon the Performance Diagnostic Checklist (PDC) discussed in this module, determine 3 potential barriers that may be at play. What potential solutions that may have resolved the issue, from your perspective, based upon the assessment?

Module 5, Part 1: Introduction

Welcome to Module 5: Performance Assessments, part 1!

This 2-part module will provide an overview of the types of performance assessment tools used by performance management practitioners, and the historical foundations of these assessments are explored. Strategies for conducting historical assessments will be shared, including lists of documents that may be reviewed to influence interventions. Indirect assessments, including diagnostic tools and consequence analyses, will be demonstrated using both research and practical applications. Reviews of different types of direct observation strategies will also be reviewed in the context of determining interventions, and finally, the use of experimental analysis in PM practice will also be discussed, including exploring why the use of these analyses are more common in clinical ABA than performance management practice.

Upon successful completion of this module, learners should be able to:

· Determine why assessments have been historically neglected in performance management

· Select the justification(s) for implementing pre-intervention assessments in the workplace

· Determine which records/documents to review during a historical assessment, given a potential intervention target

· Given a scenario, select the area of the Performance Diagnostic Checklist (PDC) that may indicate an effective intervention

 

 

Reflection Paper Rubric (25 points)

Reflection papers consist of brief responses to a prompt related to the information shared in each week’s module. Using both the assigned materials and external references, the student should thoughtfully and thoroughly respond to the prompt. Reflection paper assignments will be graded as follows:

Category	5 points	3 points	0 points

References and Utilization of Outside Resources	The author used references from peer-reviewed behavioral sources in APA format and cited one or more original behavioral references, outside of the assigned readings. Hyperlinks to the cited external references are provided.	The author used references in APA format of assigned readings but did not include an additional peer-reviewed behavioral reference or did not include a hyperlink to the externally-cited reference.	The author neither utilized APA format for referenced material used nor cited a peer-reviewed behavioral reference.
Addressing the Prompt	The author’s reflection paper clearly responds to the assignment prompt, develops ideas cogently, organizes them logically, and supports them through empirical writing.
