​February 27, 2017

On Monday, February 27, 2017, I moderated the #EdChatME Twitter chat all on the topic of "Defining Proficiency." #EdChatME is a group of Maine-based educators who are focused and committed to sharing practices and ideas, collaborative problem-solving, and connecting educators in and beyond our great state.  Maine has been deep in the throes of designing educational systems around the principles of proficiency-based learning for several years, yet many districts still don't actually have a clear definition of what "Proficiency" is.  This chat sought to help that issue.

  • Students don't retain information year to year
  • Students aren't invested in their own education
