Evidence of Learning and Feedback

Personalized Learning requires practices that accelerate student growth through evidence of learning and feedback, such as mastery and competency-based assessment strategies. This allows educations to meet learners where they are, help them overcome obstacles to learning, provide them with muliple ways to show what they know and measure and promote growth. Learnings understand assessment criteria and play an active role in the iterative process of reflecting on and improving their work.

Indicators of personalized Evidence of Learning and Feedback include:

5.1 Mastery learning or competency-based learning is practiced.

5.2 Learners have opportunities to critique and revise their work to demonstrate master of targeted competencies.

5.3 Learners are assessed through a variety of ongoing and adaptable assessment techniques (e.g., performance-based, choice boards, open-eneded problem and project-based learning, etc.) to provide data to drive learning experiences. Educators and learners co-analyze this data to inform the next steps in the learning journey.

5.4 Learners receive feedback from the learning community (e.g.,teachers, peers, family, business and industry partners, etc.) so they can understand their current progress, recognize that mistakes are opportunities to learn and develop a plan for moving forward.

5.5 Learners regularly self-assess as an embedded part of the learning process. They accurately reflect on and communicate their progress and achievement to relevant stakeholders.
