Performance Indicators (PIs)-the key to it all
A performance indicator is used to measure and evaluate knowledge of a specific skill. In a singing competition, the judge would use performance indicators such as: pitch, range and song choice to evaluate the competitor. In a DECA competition, the judge uses both general and specific business and marketing skills as performance indicators to evaluate the competitor. Find the Performance Indicators for your Event Category below:
