Practice Continuum Placement
Relative to other practices in the CADRE Continuum, how might the above practice be comparatively considered from several vantage points? Placement of a practice on the continua that follow is approximate and subjective. For example, how "easy" or "hard" any practice is to implement would depend on the interplay of many (i.e., procedural, political, personal, systemic, resource, etc.) variables.
easy to implement hard to implement
1 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=easy to implement and 7=hard to implement) 2 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=easy to implement and 7=hard to implement) 3 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=easy to implement and 7=hard to implement) - - - -
limited cooperation needed significant cooperation needed
- - - - - 6 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=limited cooperation needed and 7=significant cooperation needed) 7 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=limited cooperation needed and 7=significant cooperation needed)
least cost highest cost
1 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=least cost and 7=highest cost) 2 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=least cost and 7=highest cost) 3 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=least cost and 7=highest cost) - - - -
immediate benefit future benefit
- - - 4 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=immediate benefit and 7=future benefit) 5 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=immediate benefit and 7=future benefit) 6 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=immediate benefit and 7=future benefit) 7 (on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1=immediate benefit and 7=future benefit)
