Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided Conducts a guidance conversation under supervision using the standard form and records the agreements in the pupil file.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Independently analyses the cause of lagging results, makes a plan with the pupil and involves parents and the support team.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Develops the school's guidance structure, draws up referral protocols and coaches mentors in their role.
sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession

N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
