The Bridges School faculty also utilizes the ECC Competency Rubric for
Students in Grades 9–12+, (Clark, 2023) specifically the recreation and leisure
section, to systematically address and assess students' development in key ECC
skills. This rubric helps educators evaluate progress in areas such as play, physical
activity, health and fitness, team and individual sports, and leisure activities and
hobbies, ensuring that instruction is aligned with the ECC's comprehensive
framework for independent living and community readiness skills. The Recreation
& Leisure Competency Scale table provides specific examples of skills and
reflective actions at each level, guiding both instruction and student self-evaluation
(see Table 4).
