Special Project Deliverable Grading Form

Page 1

Special Projects present a unique learning opportunity for SITC Fellows. It allows for growth in broad professional skill sets (goal setting, work planning, project management) as well as specific knowledge and expertise.


For organizations, they present an opportunity to tackle a “wish list” item, gain greater insight on a strategic or programmatic questions, improve structures or systems, or offer an additional service to constituents.


Fellows spend at least 40% of their time on a special project that meets the following criteria:

  • Project meets a real need for the organization -- not just “make work”

  • Fellow takes the lead in planning and implementation

  • Fellow has an opportunity for real responsibility, real success and real failure

  • Project goals and objectives are clearly articulated

  • Produces a product/deliverable that can be evaluated by both the Mentor and a member of the CfSI staff team to assist with cross-cohort grade parity for the internship portion.








Based on the deliverables submitted by the Fellow and your knowledge of the Special Project, select a grade from each rubric category below. These scores will be averaged with the scores submitted by the CfSI Program Director for Internships to arrive a final score for this component of their special project grade.
