This might mean that summative assessments are organized based on when students are ready or that summative decisions are based on a body of evidence of learning in a portfolio. Students may advance more quickly in some academic domains, while taking more time in those that are more challenging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In CBE systems, teachers strive to be transparent and consistent when assessing students\u2019 proficiency. Doing so interrupts inequities of the traditional system that allow students to progress without fully mastering content and skills. To build consistency, educators score student work together and collaborate to develop rubrics with student work samples that illustrate what proficiency looks like. This reduces variability across teachers in expectations and judgments of proficiency. Shared high expectations are central to ensuring equity in a system where student progress is based on demonstrating mastery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What does progress based on mastery look like?\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These examples illustrate how real schools base student progress on their demonstrated mastery in practice, in ways that fit their own local communities. Implementing CBE is not one-size-fits all for students or for schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example: Red Bank Elementary School<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Red Bank Elementary School (RBE) in the Lexington School District One in South Carolina, work to transform to a personalized, competency-based model began with optional summer retreats where staff learned together to understand what is wrong with the traditional system. Over 10 years later, all students at RBE are learning in an environment that develops the skills they need to be the drivers of their own learning.

Students progress at different rates and in different ways. They have choices about how they practice and demonstrate their acquisition of skills. Each student is challenged at his or her academic level.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">RBE staff focus on pedagogy and transparency \u2014 around students&#8217; learning targets, their progress, and the different ways they can learn. They aim to teach students starting where they are in their own development, rather than focus on teaching a grade-based curriculum. RBE staff utilize technology and online learning tools to provide more options for learning, but keep their focus on meeting every student\u2019s learning needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Learn more:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Competency<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Works blog series on Red Bank Elementary includes five posts, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.competencyworks.org\/case-study\/red-bank-elementary-five-big-takeaways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Five big takeaways<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.competencyworks.org\/case-study\/red-bank-elementary-school-teaching-students-not-standards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teaching students instead of standards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.competencyworks.org\/case-study\/red-bank-elementary-school-starting-with-the-pedagogy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teacher perspectives<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.competencyworks.org\/case-study\/red-bank-elementary-what-students-have-to-say-about-personalized-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Student perspectives<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.competencyworks.org\/case-study\/red-bank-elementary-the-parent-perspective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parent perspectives<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

They work at their own pace through written and online materials, often in two-hour, small-group meetings with teachers and students, as well as with one-to-one support from teachers and tutors. Scheduling and pacing are flexible. Students come to school at least twice per week for four hours per day, but they can come as much beyond that as they want, so long as they\u2019re being productive \u2014 which can mean not only making academic progress, but also meeting with a social worker or just coming in to eat lunch and connect with the school community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Learn more:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Competency<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Works blog has two posts about Alta Vista, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aurora-institute.org\/cw_post\/ensuring-responsiveness-to-student-needs-at-learn4life-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ensuring Responsiveness to Student Needs at Learn4Life Schools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aurora-institute.org\/cw_post\/educating-the-whole-child-and-young-adult-at-alta-vista-innovation-high-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Educating the Whole Child (and Young Adult) at Alta Vista Innovation High School<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
