Proficiency Scales and The Jeffco Deeper Learning Model

​Jan Hoegh from Marzano Research shares this definition, “A proficiency scale is a tool that displays a collection of related learning targets and scores for determining a student's current level of performance.” In this edition of The Pulse from Curriculum & Instruction, we look at the proficiency scale as the centerpiece of the Jeffco Deeper Learning Model.  As you look at each section (plan, teach, assess and reflect), consider how a scale could be used. Teacher reflections have also been added to share how teachers from around Jeffco are making sense of scales. We encourage you to engage in conversations with your colleagues to sense make and react to this new tool. It may be helpful to pull up the Jeffco Deeper Learning Model website as you go through each section.
