Long-term Planning for Proficiency-based Progress

 As we wrap up the year, I wanted to share some of the tools that you can be using for planning around proficiency-based progress. We will be sure to repost this at the start of the year as well.

The best tool to use for long-term planning is the PBP table itself. As we have finalized these tables this year, teachers and students will have increased access to multiple grade levels of standards. So for planning, part 1 is done - clarity! 

Long-term planning really taps into the co-constructed feedback process with students, and it is helpful to look at planning in terms of content, process, or product. I would recommend looking at this through the lens of process and the questions we ask about our KLCs- what do I want my students to know, how do I know they have gotten it, what do I do when they a) are not proficient, or b) they demonstrate proficiency sooner than the rest?

Co-constructing feedback allows you to look at student data together to plan out what the next steps may be for each individual student. SMART goals may help to set a time-bound goal tied to the individual student, or it may look best charting each of your standards on a continuum. 

However you choose to track student progress, it is critical that it remains tied to student data (based on your formative and summative assessments) and the language of the proficiency tables!
