Assessment and Competency Collaborative (ACC) certification

It is the benchmark for schools committed to implementing standards-based or competency-based practices with integrity and fidelity. It’s not enough to simply adopt a new grading philosophy; true transformation requires a verified process to ensure that your practices are clear, equitable, and effective. Our certification provides that validation, offering a clear roadmap for growth and a trusted credential for your community.

Our Approach

The Pillars of Our Certification

Our Standards

Our SBG certification is built upon five core standards that define high-fidelity implementation:

  • Documentation
  • Policy
  • Practice
  • Reporting
  • Stakeholder Involvement.

    These standards provide a comprehensive framework to guide your school’s curriculum, assessment, and communication practices

Our Rubrics

We provide a clear and detailed rubric that outlines three distinct levels of certification:

  • Initial/Provisional
  • Standard 
  • Advanced.

    This tool serves as a roadmap, helping your school understand its current practices and identify clear steps for improvement and growth.

Our Process

Our process is designed to be a transparent and supportive partnership. From the initial self-assessment and evidence submission to our collaborative review, we meet your school where it is on its journey and provide the guidance needed to achieve certification.

Evidence

We help you collect and organize robust learning evidence  that are strategically aligned to standards-based and/or competency-based assessment and transparent student progress reporting.
