Progress and Proficiency: Redesigning Grading for Competency Education (by Chris Sturgis, January 2014)

Progress and Proficiency was written to help education leaders think through how to design grading policies that communicate academic performance to students and parents.

More resources on competency-based grading can be found on the link below.
