  19. Attribute Scoring Each Attribute is scored on the following scale: 1 Not Addressed: There is No Evidence that the Attribute is developing. 2 Underdeveloped: There is Little Evidence to support the Indicator/s and most of the evidence suggests that the Attribute is underdeveloped. 3 Developing: There is Some Evidence to support the Indicator/s and most of the evidence suggests that the Attribute is developing. 4 Strong: Most Evidence indicates that the Indicator/s are being addressed and all the evidence suggests that the Attribute is developing. 5 Optimal: All Evidence indicates that the Attribute is well developed, strong and cannot be improved. 19
