What's the premise for Proficiency-Based Grading?
Grades are meant to show what a student knows and is able to do with respect to classroom content that has been taught. They communicate progress toward competence in subject standards and encourage the student and the teacher to act on feedback. Proficiency-Based Grading is designed to meet these objectives more clearly and thoroughly than a typical letter grade.
Multiple Ways to Demonstrate Proficiency
With Proficiency-Based Grading, assessments are tied to specific standards to show a student's progress toward proficiency. These assessments incorporate multiple methods by which students demonstrate their learning rather than serve as a single type of high-stakes test.
Please don't hesitate to contact Mme McKeen with questions, comments, or concerns you have about this change in grading practice. You can also get more information from Principal Thayer.
