Proficiency scales can be a powerful tool in the classroom. A clearly articulated, well described proficiency scale give students the opportunity to visually understand what is needed to master the learning goal or standard. It also provides the teacher with a clear understanding of what they should see when measuring a student’s proficiency. We will discuss and practice how to develop a proficiency scale and how to effectively use it in the classroom. We will look at the MoreNet OER site and discuss how to submit and search for proficiency scales. Samples of scales written to some Missouri Priority Standards will be shared
Target Audience: Curriculum Directors, Administrators, Instructional Coaches, Classroom teachers, and Assessment Coordinators
