What Does Proficiency-Based Learning (PBL) Mean For your student?
According to the Vermont Agency of Education paper titled Why is proficiency-based learning important?, "A critical goal for proficiency-based learning is the elimination of persistent achievement and opportunity gaps. Proficiency-based learning can provide equitable, relevant, and rigorous learning opportunities that engage all students and foster the skills, knowledge, and habits of work necessary to be successful in the 21st century. " A proficiency-based system reflects on standards to accurately identify a student's proficiency on those standards. This allows teachers to measure what a student is able to do, in relation to the content standards, to determine proficiency.
