This module contains 11 sequential learning experiences designed to provide educators with background information and opportunities to develop plans for implementing competency-based education (CBE) programs within their institution. Following introductory material focusing on the organization and objectives of the module, resources required for its use, and key terms, the 11 units are presented. Each includes enabling objectives, activities to assist in objective fulfillment, and feedback devices. After completing the series, educators should be able to: (1) demonstrate knowledge of the essential elements and desirable characteristics of CBE programs; (2) determine how their institution should identify competencies for its occupational programs; (3) determine the best approach to providing materials for the institution; (4) determine how students and teachers will be oriented to new roles; (5) plan for the development and use of appropriate evaluation instruments and grading procedures; (6) determine program features best suited to the needs and characteristics of the institution and its students; (7) describe options most appropriate for the institution's mode of operation; (8) determine strategies for implementing a CBE program; (9) prepare a total plan for program implementation; (10) complete the workshop evaluation form and submit a copy of the CBE implementation plan; and (11) within their own institution, develop and implement a CBE instructional program.
