The ADEPT System is based on sets of
performance standards that establish the expectations for what all
educators in South Carolina should know and be able to do, and
reflect fundamental principles of competent professional practice.
The ADEPT System

Articulated standards or expectations for competent practice are the defining attributes of any profession.
The Importance of Performance Standards

There are four sets of ADEPT
Performance Standards (APSs):
1. classroom-based teachers
2. school guidance counselors
3. speech-language therapists
4. library media specialists

The ADEPT Performance Standards (APSs) were originally called “Performance Dimensions.”
The term “ADEPT Performance Standards” is synonymous with the term “Performance Dimensions.”
ADEPT Performance Standards
