6th Grade Proficiency Scales

The primary focus of proficiency scales is to provide clearly articulated learning criteria for student performance tracking. Their use provides students with a visual, targeted goal that defines what is required to master each level. The consistency, or unchanging nature, that proficiency scales supply fosters conversations between students and teachers. This empowers and motivates students to reach a higher level of mastery. It is a well-established fact that a student’s ability to self-assess is an important element of learning. As they work toward their individual goals, a reflective student provides invaluable feedback to the teacher (Wormeli, 2018). With proficiency scales as a guide, students can monitor progress and identify needs for mastery while self-adjusting and reflecting on tasks.
