Development of Proficiency Scales in WPS
Development of Proficiency Scales in WPS
In Westminster Public Schools, developing proficiency scales is a collaborative process guided by our commitment to personalized, competency-based learning. Our educators, curriculum specialists, and instructional leaders work together to identify essential learning outcomes aligned with state and national standards. We break these outcomes into clearly defined levels of proficiency, from foundational knowledge to advanced application. Through this process, we ensure that each scale provides students with clear, actionable steps for growth while enabling teachers to deliver targeted instruction and meaningful feedback. Regular reviews and revisions ensure that our proficiency scales remain relevant and responsive to student needs.
