Proficiency Scale

The Provincial Proficiency Scale is a four-point scale that is used to communicate student progress in all areas of learning.  The four points on the scale are Emerging, Developing, Proficient, and Extending.

Emerging – The student demonstrates an initial understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning. The student works best with ongoing support.
Developing – The student demonstrates a partial understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning. The student works with some support.
Proficient – The student demonstrates a complete understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning. The student works independently or with little support.
Extending – The student demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning. The student works without support and can support the learning of others.
