The State Board of Education approved the policy "Districts may award credit based on proficiency" sometimes referred to as “Credit for Proficiency.” This provides students the opportunity to earn graduation credits within Oregon’s standards-based system by demonstrating what they know and can do. Students may demonstrate proficiency through classroom work or documentation of learning experiences outside of school, or through a combination of these means.
Policies to award credit for proficiency are created and implemented by local school districts in accordance with OAR 581-022-1131.
