Not PL Ready/ PL Ready 

• Campus uses district provided curriculum materials with little to no modifications to meet student needs. They do not provide aligned rationale for why those resources best meet their PL vision.  
• Teachers progress based on team lesson plans to stay aligned to other teachers vs. progressing based on student mastery.
• Assessment is mostly traditional; laking authentic situations, and opportunities for transfer of knowledge through assessment.
• Students are not assessed on anything other than the core academic standards.
• Grading is traditional - i.e., letter grades or based on a 100-scale rather than mastery based. Students may or may not have access to grades on demand online. Grades communicate a final score rather than progress towards mastery.
• Online content is used minimally or in a way that lacks authentic alignment to offline instructional activities.

Consistent Practice/ Personalized 

• Campus has taken the opportunity to review their curriculum materials and have selected those materials which are aligned to their PL vision. (These are often additional to what the district requires or provides, but the key is that they are aligned to campus PL vision).
• There is evidence of authentic assessment across campus through performance assessment, portfolios, etc.
• Authentic assessment data is used alongside traditional assessment data to inform instructional decisions and to support each student’s individual progress.
• A mastery based grading reporting tool is used across campus to track student progress towards campus defined student graduation outcomes.
• There is evidence of regular use of digital content based on student mastery levels.
