• Students advance upon mastery.• Competencies include explicit, measurable, transferable learning
objectives that empower students.• Assessment is meaningful and a positive learning experience for
students.• Students receive timely, differentiated support based on their
individual learning needs.• Learning outcomes emphasize competencies that include
application and creation of knowledge, along with the development of important skills and dispositions.
