The Hartford School District uses Proficiency Based Learning to ensure a quality education for all students. To prepare students for success in college, career and the 21st century, we need to ensure they master not only the basics, but relevant skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration. In order to achieve our ENDS Policies, the district has identified Proficiency Based Learning Outcomes which include both Transferable Skills and Content Proficiency Based Outcomes (PBLOs). These reflect the most foundational core ideas, concepts or strands represented in the National Standards for each content area.Learn more about the Hartford School District curriculum.
