#ESSABray @bbray27goo.gl/upjqdZ
States have an opportunity to replace or enhance current assessments with better assessment systems that measure:
• complex demonstrations of mastery • integrate multiple points of learning evidence, and• provide an accurate picture of each student’s learning trajectory
Teachers and support staff then can respond with customized supports and interventions.

• Less federal waiver and regulatory authority, more flexibility for states
• Maintains annual assessments in grades 3-8, once in High School in Math and Reading/ELA

What is Competency Education?
• Students advance upon demonstrated mastery.
• Competencies include explicit, measurable, transferable learning objectives that empower students.
• Assessment is meaningful and a positive learning experience for students.
• Students receive timely, differentiated support based on their individual learning needs.
• Learning outcomes emphasize competencies that include application and creation of knowledge, along with the development of important skills and dispositions.

“We have essentially been trying to fix the
students so that they fit our conventional
architecture of grade-level determined
curricula. But the system can no longer be
fixed. We should ask ourselves if the time
has finally come for us to transform or
fundamentally rebuild the system that
supports student learning.”

Does education currently teach and assess these skills?

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in ESSA
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), federal K-12 education law and now defines and endorses Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a scientifically-based approach for personalized learning and building learner agency.

Proving Performance vs. IMproving Learning
Performance Orientation Learning Orientation
Students learning same material at same time.
Learning driven by learner’s goals.
Students focus on tests and grades. Performance linked to effort and progress.
Students placed in grade level based on age and earn letter grades “to pass.”
Learners progress through levels based on performance and demonstrating mastery.
The pace of learning is directed by the teacher, technology, or curriculum.
Learners accelerate the pace of learning through goal setting, voice, and choice.
