National School Leader Tammy Heflebower to Present Standards-based Learning Targets, Scales & Rubrics

Tammy Heflebower, Ed.D., will focus primarily on the creation of proficiency scales and their place in the broader, upfront work of deconstructing standards and the understanding and development of aligned assessments. Dr. Heflebower will speak of how proficiency scales fit into the instructional cycle and into the learning partnership between teacher and students. The work of creating proficiency scales is a seismic shift from our past practices of using a 100-point grading scale which converts points given to percentages.
