Girard: Just what is a competency?
Rich recapped some of the more interesting items from last night’s meetings of the Manchester Board of School Committee. There are policy changes on the way, but how is anyone to know which changes in the law necessitated the changes? It always seems to be a secret.
Then there’s this whole idea of grading “competencies.” Manchester’s had a heck of a time doing that since their grading system software changed, but just what is a competency and how are they graded. Just what are we measuring in so called “project based learning.” Oh, and what is that anyway?
