Only by shifting away from a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching and learning can every student achieve true success in the classroom. In this resource, authors Eric Twadell, Mark Onuscheck, Anthony R. Reibel, and Troy Gobble provide educators with a comprehensive strategy implementation process for proficiency-based instruction. Readers will gain a clear five-step process for seamlessly transitioning to a new, improved model of instruction in which individual student self-efficacy and growth come first.

- Learn the benefits of switching from traditional instruction to proficiency-based instruction (also known as evidence-based grading).
- Explore the process, concepts, and supporting pedagogy of proficiency-based instruction and curriculum planning.
- Acquire a five-step implementation strategy: (1) preparation, (2) incubation, (3) insight, (4) evaluation, and (5) elaboration.
- Gain change-management tools for carrying out each of the five steps as a collaborative team and onboarding all stakeholders in curriculum implementation.
