Vermont Framework for Proficiency: Developing Proficiency Scales

The purpose of the Vermont Framework for Proficiency: Developing Proficiency Scales document is to provide a process by which SU/SDs can develop proficiency scales that are connected to Priority Performance Indicators (PPIs). A proficiency scale should be designed to show a continuum of distinct levels of knowledge and skills relative to a specific performance indicator. These distinct levels are qualitative (not quantitative) and describe what the student can do (rather than not do) at each proficiency level.
