If set at a 75 (average grade on a 50 to 100 scale) means sometimes they can and sometimes they can't. Not sure that's what we as educators and/or our students should be shooting for. In the last few years (pandemic aside), we have been systematically lowering the bar. At a minimum, shouldn't "proficient" at least mean more often than not? ]]> 2022-01-13 21:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/psurks/8vkg98xtphdwr7zd/wish/1991288732 https://padlet.com/psurks/8vkg98xtphdwr7zd/wish/1991445237 2022-01-14 01:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/psurks/8vkg98xtphdwr7zd/wish/1991445237
