While many competency-based education (CBE) programs do a decent job of documenting the competencies students need to master and the types of assessments used to measure student proficiency, that doesn’t go far enough, according to a new report on the topic of assessment in CBE. Moving forward, a new report from Pearson recommended, CBE program designers “should work to clarify the links between the tasks students complete on an assessment and the competencies those tasks are designed to measure.” On top of that, CBE programs need to be validated against external standards in order to prove to employers that a competency-based education is “credible evidence of students’ career readiness.”
