Competency 1: Apply appropriate pedagogical strategies to implement competency-based instruction in the classroom.
Design a lesson that is aligned to the competencies and outcomes it addresses.
Explain ways the selected pedagogy allows for differentiation and scaffolding to assist students in achieving competency.
Explain how competency-based education concepts helped the selection of pedagogical strategies and activities.
Develop a formative assessment incorporating CBE that enhances student learning, voice, and pace.
Create a rubric that accurately assesses mastery of competencies.
Overview
For this assignment, you will design one lesson that you would use to implement competency-based instruction in the classroom. The lesson you design must include an aspect of technology.
This could be in any part of the lesson (differentiation options, student self-monitoring, data collection, et cetera), but the technology should enhance the lesson in some way. The lesson should also include research-based strategies.
This assignment will be done in two parts. First, you will provide an analysis of the lesson in narrative form. Then, you will provide the actual lesson plan. Use the Designing Competency-Based Instruction Template (linked in the Resources) to guide your work for both parts.
Instructions
Complete the following. Use the Designing Competency-Based Instruction Template to guide your work.
Part 1: Analysis
Explain the pedagogical strategy you chose for the lesson and how that pedagogy allows for differentiation and scaffolding to assist students in achieving competency.
How will that strategy be implemented upon instruction?
How will your instruction shift based on the needs of your students?
Explain how the technology will be used and the level (modification or redefinition) of SAMR.
How will the technology deepen the students' learning?
Explain how the activities work together and build upon students' prior knowledge.
Discuss how competency-based education concepts helped you select the pedagogy and activities and how the concepts changed your pedagogical strategies.
Part 2: Lesson Plan
List any materials you would need for the lesson.
Align the lesson activity accurately to the outcomes and competencies it addresses.
Provide an overview of the instruction of the activity.
Develop a formative assessment incorporating CBE so that you enhance student learning, voice, and pace.
For example, you could provide a menu of options for students such as writing a paper, acting something out, or creating a piece of artwork.
Students would be able to show mastery of the competencies through all the options.
Include any necessary follow-up activities.
Create a rubric that accurately assesses mastery of competencies.
Usually numbers should not be included in the body of your rubrics. For example, if the criterion is to find three credible articles, this would often lead to the assessment of work quantity (three articles) and not the assessment of quality (credibility of the articles).
Include all handouts you would provide for students. Make sure all of the documents you create for students are student-friendly. Ensure that the documents reflect CBE concepts.
