What is different from competencies in the past?

In many ways, things look the same. Students come to school, go to classes, choose electives and activities, and work towards their post-graduation plans.

Some things that might look different are the assignments and assessments your students are completing, as well as the way they’re reported home. Students should be completing more “authentic” tasks, those that look like what adults might do at their jobs. It’s important to know that this doesn’t mean ALL assessments change; students will still have tests and quizzes, papers to write, and group projects, but the faculty will be adding these more authentic assignments in to measure application and critical thinking.
