2006/2007Student Competency Record
Design, Multimedia, and Web Technologies (6630/36wks, 6632/18wks)
6630 - 36 Weeks
Student / School YearSchool / Teacher Signature
Traditional letter or numerical grades do not provide adequate documentation of student achievement in competency-based education; therefore, the Virginia Standards for CBE require a recording system to provide information about competencies achieved to employer, student-employee, and teacher. The Student Competency Record provides a means for keeping track of student progress. Ratings are assigned by the teacher for classroom competency achievement and by the teacher-coordinator in conjunction with the training sponsor when competence is evaluated on the job.
Tasks/competencies designated by bullets in the left-hand column(s) are considered essential statewide and are required of all students. In some courses, all tasks/competencies have been identified as essential. Unbulleted tasks/competencies and/or locally added tasks/competencies should be included as local conditions permit.
Note: Tasks marked with an asterisk (*) may be considered sensitive. Teachers should obtain division approval before teaching.
Note: Students with and Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or an Individualized Student Alternative Education Plan (ISAEP) will be rated, using the following scale, only on the competencies identified in their IEP or ISAEP.
...RATING SCALE...
1 - Can teach others
2 - Can perform without supervision
3 - Can perform with limited supervision
4 - Can perform with supervision
5 - Cannot perform
