Implementing the New Essentials in the Transformation to Competency Based Education
Webinar Details & Objectives
Implementing the 2021 Essentials and shifting to competency-based education (CBE) require organizational models and processes that include intentional faculty development. Transforming curricula with a priority towards preparing graduates who are competent, predictable, resilient, and lead with a social justice lens is essential. This presentation will focus on utilizing a faculty-led model to navigate needed curricular revisions using an effective structure, process, and outcomes framework. Mapping to the new Essentials will be reviewed, and next steps in the revisions process will be detailed. Strategies to adapt to CBE, winning approaches to stakeholder engagement, and faculty development will be addressed.
Note: Recording of the webinar will be available soon after the webinar airs. Visit AACN's On-Demand Webinars to watch.
