Franklin West Supervisory Union – Focusing Assessments on Knowledge Transfer

How does your organization define competency-based education?

In FWSU, proficiency (competency/mastery) is defined as a demonstration of progress, seen via a body of evidence, in an articulated set of prioritized and transferable skills. At any juncture when reporting proficiency, a student must be “advancing: making progress, going forward, accomplishing.” Exhibitions of learning, with evidence of growing proficiency, are gleaned from coursework, personalization, and flexible pathways. This “body of evidence” represents this continuous progress and is the platform for demonstrating of proficiency. There are no grades. There is a shift to a proficiency transcript.
