Instructions:



For each descriptive statement, select ONE option from the green columns representing your program’s capability and select
ONE option from the red columns representing your program’s current deployment.
Capability means your program could achieve the stated goal currently, regardless of whether you do or not.
Deployment means your program does achieve the stated goal currently.
What does it all mean:



Within each of the four categories, add up your capability score and deployment score.
The numbers below each option at the top of this page represents the score for that column.
The difference between your deployment score and your capability score represents your potential growth.
