Assessment - Mastery-Based Learning
A core tenet of mastery-based learning or competency-based pathways (CBP) is that accurate, credible and useful student assessment information plays an essential role in supporting learning. Assessments should be a meaningful learning experience for students, provide rich information to educators so they can provide targeted support to students, and send students and parents clear signals about students’ readiness for next steps.

In a Mastery-Based Learning environment, students demonstrate mastery based on competencies and performance standards built from the Connecticut Core Standards and Connecticut Content Standards (social studies, arts, science, and career and technical education).
Scoring Criteria - Mastery-Based Learning
Mastery-Based Learning requires a means of assessment where students can view learning as a process and use problem-solving strategies to meet or exceed learning expectations. Scoring guides have been implemented into today’s classrooms to give students a better understanding of what is being assessed, what criteria grades are based upon, and what clear and compelling learning targets are addressed.
Standards vs. Competencies - Mastery-Based Learning
Standards are the responsibility of the State Board of Education. Standards are proposed by the Connecticut Department of Education and adopted by the State Board of Education. Competencies are the knowledge, skills, and/or behaviors students must master in specific content or performance areas according to the OLD Foundation.
