Emphasis on application and creation of knowledge, and the development of important skills and dispositions. Characteristics of PBL Proficiency-Based Learning Task Force 3/11/2013

  4. Beliefs All students can learn. Students learn at different rates. Traditional structures hold time constant. Learning becomes the variable. Goal: Free the learning process from time constraints. Conceptual Framework Proficiency-Based Learning Task Force 3/11/2013
