In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While the actual interviewing process will tell you a lot about your candidate and their abilities, one of the best ways to vet a candidate is to observe them working. If at all possible, allow the candidate to demonstrate themselves in action. While this might work for some positions, it may be impossible for others. But if it is possible, consider inviting other management or potential co-workers to observe the candidate. Establish clear metrics for performance before you observe the candidate at work. Part of the process of assessing the candidate is figuring out if the person is compatible with other employees and with the culture of your business. This is because ultimately the compatibility of your team will promote cooperation. If your team is not compatible and does not cooperate, your company culture and productivity will suffer. If your business culture is inclusive, consider whether a candidate will thrive in that environment. If your business has a very top-down, production-focused culture, consider whether a candidate will thrive in that environment. Think about if the candidate gets along with other employees, including their immediate managers. An important thing to consider is whether your candidate is truly committed to the job and your company for the long-run. This is an important thing to assess, as employees who are not committed to the job may not put as much effort into the job as others. They can also undermine your company's culture and potentially cause other problems. Think about whether: The candidate is using the position as a stepping stone to another position. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as they may be looking to move up within your company and want to make a good impression in the position for which you first hire them. The candidate is committed to the type of work your company does and that they will be engaging in. The candidate is committed to staying in the location that your company is located. If the candidate says negative things about the community in which your business is located, they might not have long-term commitment to the position. After you've found a candidate, interviewed them, and provided opportunity for assessment, you should gather management and others vested in the job search to discuss top candidates. This can be very helpful because others who have been involved in the job search process might have insights into certain candidates that others don't have. As a result, you should be very inclusive and open to feedback when making the final decision.
Summary: Observe the candidate working. Determine if the candidate is compatible. Consider commitment level. Gather senior management to discuss candidates.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This will determine how much time and money you're going to need. It's best to start off publishing only a couple of times a semester, especially if you don't expect to have a large budget. You can always decide to publish more often later. The cheapest option will be using regular 8.5x11 printer paper and stapling the pages together, but unless you have a very limited budget or your students are very young, it's worth some extra expense to create a finished product that looks like a real, professional newspaper. There are many online printing services that specialize in school newspapers. Your local newspaper may also be willing to give you a deal on printing. This should include, at the very least, a computer to edit on and a printer and/or photocopier if you plan on printing the newspaper yourself. A scanner can also be useful if you want to include students' drawings or handwritten pieces. A quick Internet search should give you an idea of what each item will cost. Many of these materials may already be available for use at your school, but you may have to pay for supplies that you will run out of, such as paper and ink cartridges. Brainstorm ideas for fundraising, such as bake sales, pizza parties, and selling ads in your newspaper. You'll need their approval to make the newspaper official, and to reserve a room for your staff to meet in before or after school. Talk about how working on a school newspaper benefits students: building confidence and leadership skills, encouraging teamwork, and making reading and writing fun. Tell them what your estimated budget is, and share your ideas for fundraising. There may be funding available in the school budget to cover your costs, but you should be prepared to cooperate with the principal and school board in determining how much funding you'll receive. You may receive enough funding from the school budget to cover your costs, but you should be ready to put on some fundraising activities if the budget isn't provide enough. You'll want to plan some fundraising for before you start your paper, and also for later on when those funds run out. Local businesses may be interested in sponsoring your newspaper, especially if you put their name or logo in the paper. Once you have a newspaper staff, plan on involving them in fundraising activities. It will be educational for them, and donors may be likelier to give when the students are actively participating. Consider selling ads in your paper. Students will most likely share the paper with their parents, which can provide quite an audience for businesses. However, be aware that this will require an ongoing investment of time and effort on your part.
Summary: Decide how often to publish your paper. Decide on a size and format for your newspaper. Make a list of materials and costs. Get permission from your school principal. Raise funds, if necessary.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The scoring rubric should break potential points into several categories. Award points for each category based on the notes you took during the debate. Typical categories for assessment ask you consider if the competitor: Directly addressed the topic. Understood the basic issue. Clearly explained their position. Made a convincing case, complete with specific evidence. Explained the other side's weaknesses. Responded directly to the other side's critique. Used appropriate body language, volume, speed, and diction. Was courteous to the other side. Competitors and schools look to your feedback as a way to learn and coach participants. As a judge, you should model decorum, courtesy, and clarity when writing your feedback. The language of your feedback should also be inclusive. For example: Avoid feedback like "The competitor's presentation was boring and seemed pointless. It seems to me like they've never even studied the basics of American government." Instead, offer the critique more constructively: "For future debates, I recommend focusing on making delivery more animated to underscore main points. A review of Congressional argumentation procedure may also be useful." Likewise, avoid unnecessary exclusions of gender, age, and other aspects of identity. For example, rephrase "I always advise a young competitor that he should should observe experienced competitors in action" as "I always advise participants to closely observe other competitors in action." After you have completed scores for each category of the rubric, you can tally up to get the final score. Determine the winner according to the highest score. Double-check that your feedback is complete, and turn the ballots in to the tournament organizer. Keep in mind that the organizer may also ask you to give an oral critique or to disclose the results.
Summary:
Check the rubric against your flow sheet. Style your feedback consciously. Complete the ballot and turn it in.
