RESOURCES PUHSD and school websites have a dedicated page about CBE which contain a lot of information and resources. PUHSD Webpage Please be sure to listen to all of the podcasts, but especially the episodes that contain information about CBE. There are many useful episodes on how CBE helps students be successful as the leave one class and move on to the next. “The Point” Podcast As the year comes to an end, we have much to celebrate and be excited for the future. As you know, we began our implementation of Competency-Based Education (CBE) with a number of our teachers piloting CBE grading and reporting. Our work has helped us make important changes to our CBE practices which will be implemented next year. We are no longer using the gradebook Empower and will be using Aeries for our gradebook. Teachers will still be using Canvas or Google Classroom. Throughout this year we have held discussions with parents, students and staff regarding our implementation of CBE and answered many important questions. The input and feedback we have received has been extremely helpful to our plans for next year. We also recognize that change can bring some confusion and anxiety. We are committed to ensuring effective communication and answering your questions as they come up. Beginning next school year, all of our teachers will be using Competency-Based Educational practices, specifically the use of proficiency scales to determine accurate levels of learning. The use of proficiency scales does not mean that letter grades are being replaced or going away. It does mean that a student’s letter grade will be more reflective of their knowledge and skill. We invite you to look at our webpage for more information and details regarding CBE, along with our podcasts that discuss different aspects of CBE.
