One of the major underpinnings of a learner centered proficiency based system is that performance towards targets is measured through evidence of learning. Learners have to provide proof that they have reached the necessary level of understanding or ability with knowledge and skills in order to earn proficiency. Once they have proved proficiency on any given target, they move on in their learning. When the system is working, learners really do work at their readiness levels. When the system doesn’t work, it leads to a good deal of frustration for both learners and teachers. Two of the most common areas of breakdown in the proficiency based system are honesty in assessment, and preponderance of evidence.
