Below is a compilation of the systems and policies currently in place in our district and school that could lead to an educational transformation to adopt Competency-based education at Churchill Park.
Scaffolded MSD Grading Rubric
Scaffolded MSD Grading Rubric
"Instructions: There are two parts to this rubric, first choose the student’s expressive language based on the Learning Characteristics Inventory for the Alternate Kentucky Summative Assessment. Next, you will score the rubric based on the criteria under each level (e.g. Level 1 students are scored on Process only). Rubric criteria can be individualized based on individual student needs. The students’ IEP goals and progress monitoring should help inform the criteria on process and progress."

Backpacks
"The Backpack of Success Skills is a P-12 innovative educational initiative to ensure every single student within Jefferson County Public Schools receives an education in which academic achievement and personal development go hand-in-hand. We empower students with the tools they need to be successful students, professionals and citizens of the world."

Authentic Performance Assessment
"These are assessments in which learners demonstrate learning by applying their competency, knowledge, and skills by creating products and performances that relate to the enterprises of the real, professional, and civic world. Educators and students will often use collaboratively developed purposes or goals, scoring guides, rubrics, and other methods to evaluate whether the performance or product demonstrates that students have learned to the expected standards. Authentic assessments not only are useful for determining what has been learned previously but also are themselves a meaningful learning experience. Some common authentic performance assessments include defense of learning, capstone and community-service projects, student-led portfolio conferences, exhibitions of learning, and many types of authentic writing."

Standards-based grading Elementary Level
"Teachers will use a balanced approach by using two grading categories (Progression and Mastery) to determine grades for each subject. Academic grades are based on standards and reflect what the student knows and is able to do. Teachers will also offer students descriptive feedback regarding student engagement with standards and success skills, which is not included in the determination of a grade. Academic grades are based on standards and reflect what the student knows and is able to do. Each of the two categories must be represented, and each category shall include a variety of evidence/assignments... "

Learner-Centered Education
"An approach to learning, teaching, and assessment in which the perspective, interests, needs, strengths, and agency of the learner are integral to the design of learning and assessment. This includes designing learning experiences and environments with every learner in mind and improving motivation, engagement, and ownership of their learning. Learners exercise voice and choice in their own learning and assessment and are partners in designing their learning journey. They actively grow competencies and mastery of knowledge and skills from academic disciplinary standards through a wide range of authentic, pedagogical approaches, including collaboration, discussion, group projects, and problem solving."

Competency-Based Learning
" An approach to learning, teaching, and assessment where learners advance through demonstrated progress toward, and mastery of, key competencies (integrative and interdisciplinary knowledge, skills, and dispositions that can be found and applied within, but also between and beyond, academic disciplinary standards). Learners develop and hone these competencies—such as creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, working collaboratively, communicating effectively, and an academic or growth mindset (for example, our JCPS Success Skills)— over time and through applying them in real-world tasks, contexts, and/or with authentic purposes. This approach often includes a flexible pace, sequence, progression, and/or means in which learners can demonstrate they have reached key milestones along the path to demonstrating mastery of key competencies."
Essential Skills Checklist
This checklist gives us a snapshot of where each student at Churchill Park is at within five different areas (Participation, Communication, Motor Skills, Reading, and Math). We rate where each student is at skill level-wise (e.g. "consistently", "inconsistent/emerging", or "Never") & the qualifiers are noted which is the how they're able to engage with said areas depending on what is being asked
