Final Project
Instruction and Rubic
Based on the material you have learned this semester, now it YOUR turn to put together a competency-based training. You may use materials developed throughout the semester. You will select two skills to teach and complete a competency training using Appendices A and B as from Chapter 5 in LeBlanc, Sellers, & Ala'i as templates. Your training procedure should include all the components of BST.
- Develop a PowerPoint presentation discussing the each of the different components of your competency-based training (e.g., setting, participants, method/procedure including all of the materials that you developed for the training, how you will approach each component of BST, etc.). Hypothetical results and a discussion section are NOT required.
The following components are required for your presentation
- Setting, Participants, Target Skills
- Rationale for completing competency based training
- Performance Feedback
- Assessing Competency (Leblanc Chapter 5 Appendix B)
- Description of BST Components
- Ethical Considerations
- Tracking Competencies - Generalization and Maintenance
- Find and include 3 additional references that were not included in the course.
- During your presentation: Explain the rationale for doing a competency-based training (e.g., what has the research shown) and describe each of the components that you have included.
- Your presentation should be at least 10 minutes in length. Points will be deducted for presentations that are shorter than 10 minutes in length.
