Who is a proficiency based system of learning for? If our proficiency based system doesn’t create equity for marginalized and traditionally underserved students then what is its purpose? In this workshop presenters will provide a framework that connects Special Education structures and the elements of a proficiency based learning system that promote more equitable outcomes.
Participants will examine beliefs and structures that apply to all students and explore the leverage points for students with IEPs. Participants will have the opportunity to select a focus area for their learning, examine resources, engage in small group discussions, and apply their learning to their practice in order to capitalize on the power of proficiency based systems to promote equity without requiring sameness.
