Standard-Based Learning (SBL): An educational approach that focuses on clearly defined learning standards or objectives, where students are assessed based on their mastery of these standards rather than their performance compared to peers.
Learning/Priority Standards: Clear, specific, and measurable statements that describe what students should know and be able to do by the end of a particular course or program.
Assessment: The process of evaluating student performance and understanding through various methods such as tests, projects, presentations, and other relevant activities.
Proficiency Scales: Clear and transparent proficiency scales were developed to guide both educators and students in understanding the criteria for mastery of each standard.
