\nSpecial admission schools have more competitive entrance criteria. Students accepted to special admission schools must meet the school\u2019s standardized test score, report card grade, and attendance requirements. Citywide admission schools have lower entrance requirements, but still have admission criteria regarding standardized test scores grades, attendance, and discipline records. Non-academically selective or non-selective schools do not have admission criteria based on academics, attendance, or behavior.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>In a competency-based school or model, learning goals are organized as “competencies”- a related set of skills and knowledge that are applied to real-world problems in order to demonstrate proficiency. In competency-based education, students do not advance unless they’ve demonstrated proficiency (the successful application of skills and knowledge to complete a task or solve a problem) in multiple ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
