Competency-Based Assessment Practices focuses on equipping educators and professionals with the necessary skills to implement effective assessment strategies tailored to individual learner competencies. The course emphasizes practical application through project-based learning, allowing participants to engage in interactive sessions that foster collaboration and innovation. By the end of this program, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of how to design and evaluate assessments that accurately reflect student learning and capabilities.
Participants will explore various assessment models, develop tools for measuring competencies, and analyze case studies that illustrate successful implementation in diverse educational settings. The course culminates in a final project where learners will create a competency-based assessment plan applicable to their own educational context, encouraging them to publish their findings in Cademix Magazine. This hands-on approach not only enhances learning but also contributes to the professional community by sharing insights and best practices.
