The central goal of proficiency-based learning is to make students’ areas of strength, progress, attainments and challenges more visible and clear to students, teachers, and family members. Schools work towards this goal in a variety of different ways, and each way has its challenges. In this session, we will first discuss a variety of strategies that different schools have adopted to ensure that their grades provide the most useful information. We will then make space for participants to present aspects of their system or challenges for feedback, suggestions, or resources from the group. All participants are encouraged to bring multiple copies of sample report card, transcript, sample gradebook, or the school grading guidelines to share and tune with others. Be sure to remove the student name or any other identifying information.
