Proficiency-Based Teaching and Learning in AOS 93
In 2014 AOS 93 adopted a proficiency-based system of education (PBE). PBE refers to a system of instruction, assessment, grading, and academic reporting that is based
on students demonstrating that they have learned the knowledge and
skills they are expected to learn as they progress through their
education.
In AOS 93 we believe that
the individual student is at the center of the learning
process. Our expectation is that all students achieve at a proficient
level given the necessary supports and that instruction is adjusted to allow students to
learn at their own rates and provide supports to all students. This article,
10 Principles of Proficiency-Based Learning, provides more information about PBE. AOS 93 has developed Assessment Beliefs matching the PBE philosophy we are implementing.
