  1. Performance-Based Credit: Building a New Approach to Student Learning Kentucky Department of Education

  2. Think Outside the Box • How should high school work? • Traditional day? Traditional setting? • If you could redesign high school, what would it look like?

  3. Performance-Based Credit System Students may complete coursework by demonstrating PROFICIENCYin lieu of completing seat time, which is a primary requirement under the traditional Carnegie unit system.

  4. Who Decides the Standards? • The Kentucky Core Academic Standards outline the standards for each course. • Standards for elective courses are determined by the local district.

  5. What Courses Are Eligible? Any authorized course work that constitutes satisfactory demonstration of learning in any high school course approved for performance-based credit, consistent with Kentucky Administrative Regulation.

  6. Ideas for Performance-Based Credit • Satisfactory demonstration of learning in a course for which the student failed to earn credit when the course was taken previously • Portfolios, senior year or capstone projects • Online courses • Internship, cooperative learning experience, other school/community experiences

  7. The Bottom Line: What You Need to Know • Your district MUST have a performance-based credit policy in place. • Be sure you know which standards must be met. • Define how you will assess the standards and what is required for mastery. • The teacher of record must be highly certified in the content area for that course.

  8. Funding/Attendance

  9. What are the attendance requirements? • Attendance is not a requirement of performance-based credit. • Credit determination is outcome-oriented. • Performance-based policy set by the school district specifies if/how participation in a performance-based course will be verified.

  10. Funding – All or Nothing • based on demonstrated proficiency at the end of the course • if the student does not demonstrate proficiency, the district will receive no funding • if the student demonstrates proficiency, the district will receive the same amount of funding as if the student were in attendance in that course for the entire term of the course
