2. What is competency-based learning?
it refers to systems of
instruction, assessment, grading, and
academic reporting that are based on
students demonstrating that they have
learned the knowledge and skills they are
expected to learn as they progress
through their education..

3. What is competency-based learning?
is an approach to education that focuses
on the student’s demonstration of desired
learning outcomes as central to the
learning process.

4. What is competency-based learning?
 Begins by identifying specific
competencies or skills, and enables
learners to develop mastery of each
competency or skill at their own pace,
usually working with a mentor.

5. CBL is appropriate for adult learners with
life experience who may have developed
competencies
Can be delivered through a campus
program.

6. The Characteristics Of Competency-Based Learning
A key characteristic of this type of learning is its focus on mastery. In other
learning models, students are exposed to content–whether skills or
concepts–over time, and success is measured summatively. In a
competency-based learning system, students are not allowed to continue
until they have demonstrated mastery of the identified competencies (i.e.,
the desired learning outcomes to be demonstrated). In this way, the
definition of competency-based learning is closely tied to mastery learning.
Competency-based learning is similar to outcomes-based learning in that
said outcomes–in this case, called ‘competencies’–are identified
beforehand, and students are frequently assessed. In this way,
competency-based learning can be thought of as a form of outcomes-
based learning.

7. Pros & Cons Of Competency-Based Learning
Its effectiveness, of course, depends on the ecology it
is embedded in. In a system with deep and diverse
support systems, robust assessment forms, and clear
and manageable learning outcomes that are
accessible to all learners, competency-based learning
can be an effective model, potentially reducing
inefficiency (including time spent learning) and
increasing pedagogical precision and student
achievement.

8. Its strengths lie in its flexibility, as learners are able to
move at their own pace. This supports students with
diverse knowledge backgrounds, literacy levels, and
other related aptitudes. Its challenges should sound
familiar to most educators, including the difficulty in
identifying–and agreeing upon–the most important
competencies, how to best assess them, and how to
support learners that struggle.

9. Competency
Competency (Wikipedia):
The ability of an individual to do a job
properly.
A competency is a set of defined
behaviors that provide a structured guide
enabling the identification, evaluation,
and development of the behaviors in
individual employees.

10. Competency
Features of the most competency-based
program is partnerships between
employers and educators
Meet the needs of students and
employers

11. 6 essential components
 Choose a learner: role/function, division, an
entire organization
 Identify desired competencies
 Perform a gap analysis
 Develop Individual Development Plans (IDPs)
 Implement IDPs
 Monitor results, adjust IDPs & coaching
strategies as needed

12. Choose a learner
• What is the scope of your competency-
based learning program?
• Who are the learners?

13. Identify desired competencies
• Keep this simple
• Limit to 8-10 competencies
• Define basic, intermediate, advanced
behaviors
• Easy to read in a table format

impact learning plans

15. Performing a gap analysis
• Keep it simple
• Manager and individual assess separately
• Come to a consensus
• Choose a target level( basic, intermediate,
advanced ) for each competency

16. Create individual development plan
• Choose 2 competencies to work on within 90 days:
-1 that is achievable within 30 days
- 1 with the biggest impact
• Choose learning interventions to meet competency
goal
- Could be a class, advanced job responsibility,
self-study, or a combination
• Identify timeframe and support needed

18. Implement and monitor development
• Provide an opportunity for learners to
engage in activities to develop competency
• Check in ideally every 2 weeks during the
timeframe
• Adjust the plan as needed
• Celebrate progress!

19. Implementing competency –based learning
• People learn from their experiences.
• The 70-20-10 model for learning design recognizes and
leverages the way we really learn.
- 70% - application. doing it, stretch goals
- 20% - coaching, peers
- 10% - classroom/formal
• Organizations report people to learn more, better, and
faster when 70-20-10 is applied. And they report up to
75% reduction in their training spend.
