Competency-Based Education: Lessons from the Trenches

Competency-Based Education (CBE) is a learner-centered, outcome-based approach to designing, delivering, and assessing learning. In addition, CBE provides proof of mastery to employers and to learners. Learn how to plan, design, and build a CBE program at your institution based on lessons learned from the workshop facilitators who implemented CBE models in Texas and Tennessee. Participants leave with a list of resources to consult as they embark on their own CBE adventures!

By the end of this seminar, learners can:

• Write an effective competency statement.
• Identify the steps and challenges in planning, designing, and implementing a CBE program.
• Identify the support resources available while creating and launching CBE programs.
