A LOOK AT HOW COMPETENCIES CAN BE USED IN COURSESAlthough it is abstract to many, competencies are becoming more and more used in workplace employee job descriptions and often help drive the training path for the employee.
A Competency is the ability of to do a specific task correctly. Each of these competencies are usually further defined as a set of behaviours that enable the identification, development and assessment of the behaviours and competency in an individual. Competencies are often grouped into specific domains making a 3 tier system:
Domain -> Competency -> Behaviour.
This presentation will have a look at different approaches taken in two courses as to how competencies were defined, used and measured and reported on.

27 competences broken into three areas:• Professional Values and Practice• Professional Knowledge and Understanding• Professional Skills and Application
Phase exemplars• initial teacher education• induction• early professional development• continuing professional development, collaborative
practice and school improvement
Competence – the development continuum
The new competence statements are predicated upon the notion that the achievement of competence is a developmental process which, of necessity, transcends early teacher education and continues throughout a teacher’s career.

Initial: Monitor pupils’ progress through observation, marking, targeted questioning, and discussion.
Induction: Monitor pupils’ progress through marking, observation, targeted questioning, and discussion.
Early Prof. Dev: Monitor pupils’ progress with greater responsiveness to their individual needs and with an increasing impact on their progress.
CPD: Liaise with others to monitor pupils’ progress.

Compass Activity - Assessment
• Student scores each behaviour in the assessment
• Tutors get alerted on submission and then score the student on each behaviour too
• Both can see each others scoring
• Feedback is also enabled for both
• This is repeated for each phase
Compass Activity – Visual Report
• In addition to tabular view an interactive graph report view is available with drill down capability for Domain, Competency and Behaviour
• Can compare student vs tutor, different phases to see visual progression
