Vermont schools have been undergoing a major shift in recent years toward proficiency-based learning. Now Vermont’s high school class of 2020 is sending off transcripts and grades based on this new system.
We're talking with educators about grading under Vermont's proficiency-based system. And how schools make these student assessment work not only for college admissions, but for scholarship applications, military enlistments and employers.
Joining the conversation are:
- Samuel Krotinger, assistant principal at Harwood Union High School in Moretown.
- Bill Kimball, assistant superintendent and interim principal at Maple Run Unified School District in St. Albans.
- Moses Murphy, senior associate director of admissions at the University of Vermont.
- And we hear voices from a marathon 7-hour Board of Education meeting where teachers, principals, administrators, school board members and students shared their thoughts about proficiency-based learning and grading.
