Competency A transferable skill that can be applied in different content areas (and in life!)

Performance Assessment “Performance assessments are multi-step assignments with clear criteria, expectations and processes which measure how well a student transfers knowledge and applies complex skills to create or refine an original product and/or solution.”(NH PACE)

A way for students to demonstrate competence in a real-world task.

WHY COMPETENCY- BASED EDUCATION? We understand students can TEACH STUDENTS THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED AND TRACK THEIR PROGRESS ON THESE SKILLS THROUGH THE YEAR. We understand students can struggle the first time they are asked to do something. Direct feedback and just-in-time interventions are real possibilities in CBE curriculum.
