What is a Rubric? Rubrics, which are now commonly used in Canada’s school system are essentially charts that list the varying levels of skills in various areas. A rubric is used for judging, evaluating or assessment of the levels of skills attained. Strong candidates will meet the higher descriptors; weak candidates will meet the lower descriptors. It is possible, using this tool, for an individual to score highly on some skill areas and lower on others and is helpful to identify these variances. Why Did CanTRA Develop CTRAI Rubrics? In 2007, CanTRA struck an ad-hoc committee charged with the task of creating a set of rubrics for the CTRAI level of CanTRA certification. This committee was formed in light of the fact that Equine Canada (EC) and all other sports disciplines affiliated with the Coaching Association of Canada had begun to move towards a competency based evaluation system using rubrics. Although therapeutic riding certification is a ‘specialization’ rather than a sports discipline, CanTRA has a strong relationship with EC and we also use their instructor certification system as a pre-requisite for our CTRI certification and their rider levels as a pre-requisite for the CTRAI and CTRII certification. In keeping with the direction of a competency based system, CanTRA has developed a set of rubrics specifically for the CTRAI level. How Can the CTRAI Rubrics Be Used? The eleven CTRAI Rubrics are designed to give the certification candidate indicators of performance that are expected in a qualified CTRAI. The charts allow candidates to see what skills are required to achieve the minimum standard, as well as those skills that would be considered above standard. This guide will help the candidate in preparing for both a technical evaluation and an examination, and will also help to maintain the excellent standards for therapeutic riding instruction across the country. There are many areas where it will be impossible for candidates to achieve an “above standard” mark; since the correct method will be the only safe method accepted. To achieve an “above standard” mark will require that a candidate demonstrates the “at standard” requirement PLUS any additions mentioned in the above standard column. In some areas, this rubric refers to the “correct” methods of performing a task. Candidates should refer to the designated publications for acceptable “correct” methods. |

The authors, both experienced in the field of equine therapy, have cooperated to produce this valuable book, which in a sense is a “primer” for mental health professionals and riders alike. Leslie Moreau, author and editor, has 25 years of experience counseling as well as 14 years experience in Equine Facilitated Mental Health (EFMH). These are the voices of experience that speak to us throughout the 300 pages. Every chapter is though provoking and informative. Other health professionals and practitioners in the field of EFMH have contributed articles, which give us insight into studies and research.
