Competency-Based Education at Community Colleges
Higher
costs, more nontraditional students, and a growing emphasis on workforce
development are just some of the factors coming together to make
Competency-Based Education a priority in higher education today.
The question for higher education
policy makers and administrators isn’t whether they need to take a closer look
at competency-based education—it’s whether they can afford not to give it some
serious and well-informed consideration.
Learn more about competency-based
education (CBE), what it can do for you and your students, and how to implement
it at your institution with Competency-Based Education at Community
Colleges, a Magna Online Seminar with Dr. Sally M. Johnstone.
The term “competency-based
education” refers to alternative credentialing strategies that allow students
to progress through course materials at their own pace and demonstrate mastery
through assessments, regardless of time spent in “class.”
Advocates say competency-based
education can help colleges and universities:
- Make higher education more affordable
- Provide students with more consistent learning experiences
- Support workforce development strategies by better meeting the needs of employers and students heading for the job market
- Allow students to make progress based on their prior knowledge
Johnstone is an authority on CBE,
having served on the original design team for the only all-CBE institution in
the U.S.—Western Governors University (WGU). She is currently vice president
for academic advancement at WGU and serves on the boards of several nationwide
initiatives designed to open the field of higher education to competency-based
programs
