Purpose: This draft rubric for one dimension of magnet program implementation—
professional development—is one approach to evaluating the extent
to which program activities are effectively implemented. You may
wish to adapt elements of this rubric to measure the quality of your
own professional development activities, or to prompt discussion of
implementation rubrics as a way to determine the quality of other
program activities.

Professional Practice: A Framework for Teaching (1996), Alexandria,
VA: Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development; and
