In 2013, Vermont’s Act 77 brought the Education Quality Standards (EQS), which require that high schools develop systems for “Proficiency-Based Graduation". We as a school have been working to make this switch for several years. Teachers have been attending trainings and working on choosing graduation proficiencies.
Proficiency-Based Graduation Requirements
Proficiency-Based Graduation Requirements
This is the end goal of our proficiency based grading work. Proficiency Based Graduation Requirements (PBGRs) are a locally developed set of content knowledge and skills connected to state standards that all students must demonstrate to graduate. At Leland and Gray, each department has selected the skills and content that they deemed essential for a Leland and Gray graduate to know and be able to do. In conjunction with the content standards, students will also be assessed on Transferable Skills. These transferable skills are life and career skills that are essential outcomes for students as they move through school and into college and careers Then end goal will be for students to graduate having proven proficiency in all of the content and transferable skills.
