Project SCANS (Secretary's Commission on Achieving |
|
Necessary Skills) Integration is a 5-year initiative to |
|
explore how well all high school instructors would be |
|
able to integrate competency-based instruction in |
|
designated work-related competencies into their courses |
|
and rate students' mastery of the competencies. Three |
|
teachers from each of 14 curricular areas attended a 1- |
|
week workshop and 1-week institute on competency-based |
|
approaches to achieving necessary skills. During the |
|
following year, the teachers achieved consensus on three |
|
competencies per SCANS category. The original teachers |
|
shared their experiences in a 2-day workshop, and one |
|
teacher from each discipline acted as a mentor to three |
|
newly selected teachers. The teachers then pilot tested |
|
the program during the 1993-94 school year. In a |
|
systematic formative evaluation of Project SCANS |
|
Integration's pilot test year, an external reviewer used |
|
program-specific instruments to interview 19 |
|
administrators, 54 teachers, and 36 students and to |
|
structure classroom observations at 20 schools. The |
|
preliminary evaluation findings were discussed with an |
|
evaluation cadre of 13 SCANS teachers and synthesized |
|
into a best practices handbook. (Appended are the |
|
following: SCANS performance checklists, pilot test log, |
|
evaluation instruments, cognitive learning theory table, |
|
and SCANS best practices handbook.) (MN) |
