Building the Infrastructure for Competency-Based Education in Nursing: A Step-by-Step Approach
Webinar Details
Many nursing schools are working to implement the 2021 AACN Essentials in a competency-based framework. Sometimes the work may seem fragmented, leaving faculty unsure of the next steps. This presentation will share strategies for implementing a tactical and systematic approach to operationalize this work overtime and support schools in making incremental advances on their Essentials journey.
Outcomes:
- Review backward design for the implementation of competency-based education and assessment.
- Demonstrate the elements of a flexible timeline for building the infrastructure for competency-based education.
- Suggest approaches to address competencies needing greater representation across the curriculum.
- Provide examples of competency-based teaching and assessments faculty can implement in their programs.
