This course has moved from letter-based grading to competency-based rubrics which are applied across course performance tasks. Learners must demonstrate a minimum proficiency across all tasks in order to successfully complete the course. Course performance tasks balance professional reflection, professional inquiry, and tangible instructional, assessment, and resource planning.

• Performance tasks apply competency-based rubrics which outline specific criteria for proficiency. Ratings across course rubrics include:
• Developing: You are developing professional capacity and capability commensurate with this professional qualification.
• Proficient: You have achieved professional capacity and capability commensurate with this professional qualification.
• Advanced: You have achieved professional capacity and capability commensurate with this professional qualification and have demonstrated expertise in this area of professional practice.

To complete this course successfully and gain your qualification, all performance tasks will demonstrate criteria associated with the Proficient or Advanced ratings.
