Authors Pearce and Robinson (2009) suggest, a balanced scorecard “Is a set of measures that are directly linked to the company’s strategy,” “Directs a company to link its own long-term strategy with tangible goals and actions,” and “Provides a framework to translate a strategy into operational terms” (p. 202).

One of the interesting aspects of their work was the manner in which they report the outcomes of the DA procedure. Poehner (2008) demonstrated the difference between the DA and non-dynamic assessment (NDA) from two different points of view: ontological and epistemological which consider the integration of teaching and assessing through intervention to enhance the abilities which are being assessed. As Poehner suggested the DA and NDA are concerned with the procedures of administration rather than an assessment tool. He also admitted that any assessment tool is possible to be applied in dynamic and non-dynamic fashion. Furthermore Poehner (2008) recognized three different paramount
?). “It is also to some extent culturally shaped and culturally defined, since cultural practices support and recognize intellectual qualities that are useful in the social and ecological context.” (Kowalski & Westen, 2011, p.274). Gardner’s Theory was developed due to his belief in the existence of only one inventory for intelligence. He used many criteria to come up with these eight intelligences. These criteria dealt with damage to the brain indicating how a portion of the brain could be affected while the other portion still worked fine.
