The Essentials

September 27, 2024 Essentializing Your Curriculum: Moving Forward with Competency-Based Education Workshop

Description

Building on last year’s popular series of workshops, AACN is hosting a new program this fall for faculty seeking strategies, resources, and solutions for adapting their nursing programs to meet the 2021 Essentials. Essentializing Your Curriculum: Moving Ahead with Competency-Based Education (CBE) is designed to accelerate your program’s transition to CBE. This one-day workshop will be held at The Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza in St. Louis, Missouri on September 27, and will offer initial training in CBE provided by AACN’s Essentials Coaches and experts with the Competency-Based Education Network (C-BEN). Content will be similar to previous workshops that focused on providing an overview of CBE, but will also include more in-depth training in curricular transition and new content on using AI to develop progression indicators.

Special thanks to the Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes–Jewish College for their support in hosting this workshop.
