These are run through our senior english teachers and projects cover students' learning over their high school career - culminating projects are graded using a rubric by a panel of teachers/community members https://padlet.com/lindadrakesbe/f97uiiknc9m96ejr/wish/2730955093 2023-10-03 21:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lindadrakesbe/f97uiiknc9m96ejr/wish/2730955093 GATES High School has been working towards Mastery Based Learning and is beginning to explore this. Our PLC leads have been working on procedures, proposals, evaluations, etc. We would love if this pathway could align with MBL/PBL practices.

Passing the ASVAB vs a mastery pathway have extremely different levels of requirements--and yet we're going to say that they equally check the pathway box. https://padlet.com/lindadrakesbe/f97uiiknc9m96ejr/wish/2730959172 2023-10-03 21:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lindadrakesbe/f97uiiknc9m96ejr/wish/2730959172 We use the IBPLC framework for evaluating students' growth through their project work.

Also, some have idenified specific learning standards they know they need to work on strengthening. However they have not been scored in or required to show proficiency at a proscribed level in multiple standards as a part of their projects. https://padlet.com/lindadrakesbe/f97uiiknc9m96ejr/wish/2730961460 2023-10-03 21:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lindadrakesbe/f97uiiknc9m96ejr/wish/2730961460 We do have a rubric for the senior reflection essay and the presentation they give, yes.
