Proficiency Infographic

Proficiencies allow schools to shift the emphasis away from acquiring a fixed body of knowledge (that is readily accessible with a quick computer search) toward students building and demonstrating their own capacity to learn. With these skills, students reach the goal of graduation and are equipped to pursue learning for their entire lives. In this way, our communities benefit from more talent than they’ve ever had access to before.
