Our Mission
Make teaching and learning explicit, transparent, and accessible to ALL students!
Why is Grading Reform Important?
Proficiency based education (sometimes called competency-based, standards-based, or mastery learning, depending on where you live) is grounded in the following principles:
Teachers are in the business of helping every child reach their potential (not just the "smart" or "talented" ones).
Timely and targeted feedback is essential for student learning.
Students deserve to know what success looks like in any subject area. No more "guess for success."
The three Ps -- progress, process, and product -- are all important! But lumping them all together into a single score or letter grade does not help students understand how to improve.
A rigorous curriculum. When compliance data (e.g. showing up on time, raising your hand, sitting still, etc.) are reported separately from performance, students and families can see exactly how the student is performing in relation to grade level standards.
