Descriptions:

Advanced Proficient - XP$2,500

defined as, "I know how to do something and can actually teach this skill to others." The cost of an AP grade is currently XP$2,500.

Proficient - XP$2,000

defined as, "I know how to do this." Most students are able to achieve proficiency with time, practice, and repetition. The cost of a P grade is currently XP$2,000. Proficient is the "A" in the classic sense as you have the confidence to apply skills anyplace, anytime!

Partially Proficient - XP$1,500

defined as, "I know how to do most things, but not everything, and sometimes I need some help." This is a solid "B" in the classic sense and it shows you care enough to try your best! Want to move up to a "P"? The answer is a little more TIME + PRACTICE.

Limited Proficent - XP$1,000

defined as, "I'm not sure I know how to do things?" Sometimes we need a little help and that's okay. With a little TIME + PRACTICE you can easily get the hang of things and move right up the ladder.

Not Proficient - XP$500>

Typically, everyone can do something. The question is "Did I really try?" If you don't have much XP$ and worry about this situation, you can always come up with a plan. Take a look at the classroom jobs; maybe there is something you missed? Come up with an idea for a project; maybe we can think of something new? Scroll through Google Classroom; there is lots of opportunity for XP$!
