Develop a “HCCC Educate the Educator”Course for schools that would like to adopt the curriculum


In 2014 a National H2P Pathways Grant through Anoka Ramsey Community College funded the creation of this online “HCCC Educate the Educator” course.

HCCC Educate the Educator Course

The HCCC was designed as a competency based

education.

What is a Competency Based Education?


Skill: A task or group of tasks performed to a level of competency or proficiency

Competency: A skill performed to a specific standard under specific conditions

Competency Based Education (CBE)


• The main focus should always be on the outcome of the education, rather than the process of the education.

• Important to focus on knowledge application rather than just the gaining of knowledge.

Competency Based Education

Teacher and the student are both responsible for content: Make the student an active participant

Learning can happen through a variety of methods

Emphasis is on formative evaluation

Competency Based Education
