Traditional letter or numerical grades do not provide adequate documentation of student achievement in competency-based education; therefore, the Virginia Standards require that a student competency record be kept to track their progress. Ratings are assigned by the teacher for each competency as it is evaluated. Students must achieve a satisfactory rating on at least 80% of the competencies in a CTE course.
