EducationalAccountability

• Interest for educational accountability has been growing.

Competency Based Program

has the following qualities:• Observable/measurable behaviors based on

competencies• Identified learning conditions• Evaluation conditions congruent with behaviors• Identified minimal level of performance• Procedure for collecting formative and summative

data• Procedure for external and internal evaluation• Constant feedback on learner’s performance• Procedure for evaluating effectiveness and

appropriateness of program

Page 10: Competency Based Teacher Education

Individualized Program

Student and Professor have input to the following:

• Learning objectives• Rate of student progress• Level of student achievement• Testing conditions• Selection of learning activities

Page 11: Competency Based Teacher Education

Individualized Program

Teaching-Learning Modules• Main vehicle• Guide to direct student learning• Means of organizing units of content for

instruction• Learning tasks prepared by specialists

Page 12: Competency Based Teacher Education

Field Based

• Students spend at least 50% of time allocated for professional education courses in an actual school setting. (3)

CBTE at the

University of North Florida

Page 14: Competency Based Teacher Education

• The undergraduate and graduate music education program at UNF is evolving into a CBTE program. (3)

• The CBTE program at UNF is individualized and field based

Page 15: Competency Based Teacher Education

Competencies & Product at UNF

To be able to:• Organize content that’s consistent with psychological and

physiological demands of learner• Plan for instruction: identify objectives for and with the

learner• Identify and demonstrate proficiency in methods,

processes, procedures, and techniques related to learner objectives

• Collect and use assessment data of pupil • Accept leadership and professional responsibilities • Integrate conceptual skills: see relationships of a system

and describe the total interactive process and it’s outcome

Page 16: Competency Based Teacher Education

Developing a CBTE Program

• Select competencies• Group competencies• Match competency components to

courses• Match courses to performance

objectives• Develop, test, refine modules

Page 17: Competency Based Teacher Education

Objective Example:

“A competent preservice music teacher demonstrates the ability to

relate musical learning tasks to children’s musical growth patterns with

at least 70 percent accuracy.” (4)

Page 18: Competency Based Teacher Education

Individualized Instructionat UNF

Each module contains:• Classification• General Directions• Performance objective(s)• Prerequisites• Preassessment• Learning Activities• Post Assessment

Page 19: Competency Based Teacher Education

Field Based Instructionat UNF

Includes 3 Elements:1. Opportunity for student to apply

knowledge in schools2. Opportunity for all subjects involved to

provide input about the UNF music teacher education program

3. Opportunity for professors to be involved directly with public schools

Common misconception:

“Study of theory almost automatically improves practice” (6)

Fact:

“…theory improves practice if the student comprehends the

linkages…” (6)

Page 21: Competency Based Teacher Education

CONCLUSION

Page 22: Competency Based Teacher Education

Evaluation of CBTE at UNF

• Program is still evolving.• Several dimensions are not described

in the article.• An informal evaluation of CBTE at UNF

concludes that implementation of a music CBTE program is worth the effort. (6)

Page 23: Competency Based Teacher Education

Presenter’s Insights

Evidence that CBTE still exists:

Educational Accountability:

-No Child Left Behind Act

-standardized tests

-Professional Development Plans

-Achievement based pay for teachers

Page 24: Competency Based Teacher Education

Preservice teacher programs in WI

-Praxis Exams
