      A similar approach to GTED for teacher continuing education. Perhaps there is something to learn from this approach to competency modeling.
  • In 2008 UNESCO, in partnership with Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, and ISTE, formalized the UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (ICT-CFT) with an aim to measure the ICT proficiency of teachers against a common international standard and to aid in their professional development
  • Often, the word competency and skill are used interchangeably. While they are related, they are not the same. A competency is a demonstrated ability to perform a particular job or task. A competency includes skills, but also behaviors and the ability to apply those skills in order to perform a job or task

  • In closing, effective competency-based professional development includes the following components: Adoption of a common set of competency standards defined by role. A computer science teacher may require different competencies contained in the ICT-CFT than a 3rd grade literacy teacher. Teachers identify areas where they need competency improvement. A rich and varied set of aligned resources is provided to teachers to fill those competency gaps which could include job shadowing, classes, workshops, or eLearning. Improved teacher competencies are verified through assessments, observation, or portfolio work. Peer support or mentoring is offered to help teachers carry forward ICT use to the classroom. Teacher competency development is refined and iterated in a continuous-improvement cycle.

AA-ISP selects BrainX On-line System for CISP® Accreditation Program | Press ... - 0 views

  • We felt a need to both identify and then test the set of competencies and skills required at the individual rep level”, stated Reeves. AA-ISP Founder and CEO, Bob Perkins goes on to note, “For years corporations have made significant investments in hiring, training, and on-boarding inside sales professionals. Yet there remains a need to, quantify, measure, and then test these skills to assure an individual was competent. We selected BrainX [www.BrainX.com] because their unique on-line learning system. If a salesperson doesn’t meet the required knowledge and skill level the BrainX on-line learning system builds a personal set of Sales Courses and simulations to help the salesperson master the required knowledge and skills so they can pass the accreditation requirements.
  • Bruce Lewolt the CEO of BrainX says he is proud that an organization that understands the world of sales training as well as the AA-ISP would recognize the value of personalized sales training that is mastery based
  • Lewolt agrees and added that it is only with this level of mastery that the conscious centers of the brain are freed up to really listen to what the customer is saying well enough to be able to read between the lines and figure out what it really driving the customer

  • The BrainX On-line Learning system is an intelligent system that uses a series of knowledge, skill and belief assessments and builds a cognitive learning profile on each learner. The BrainX Digital Tutor uses the first set of assessments to figure out just what each sales person should focus on and combines this with the personal cognitive profile to mold the delivery of the lesson content and simulations in a way that helps each individual master the required set of skills and competencies in the shortest amount of time so they can obtain their CISP®.
  • About BrainX BrainX is the next generation of online learning and Talent Management! BrainX is the first system to combine patented intelligent learning technology with mastery-based, learning strategies. BrainX participated in the landmark research on the neurobiology of effective sales training and used this research to design the BrainX system. The result is a system that accepts any type of content (e.g. product training, sales training, negotiation training) and stores the content in a way that allows the BrainX Digital Tutor to understand the content. The BrainX system figures out just what each person already knows along with what they need to learn. The system uses this information along with the understanding of the lesson content to build personalized lessons that teach each person just what they need: to know; to be able to do; and to believe about why something needs to be done in the correct way. With BrainX the days of one size fits all sales training courses are gone forever. The BrainX system also builds a cognitive learning profile on each learner and uses this information to customize the way lessons are taught and to determine how much post lesson reinforcement each sales person needs. This approach is so effective that when compared to traditional online learning, BrainX users achieve mastery in 50% less time. www.BrainX.com

    Brain-X appears to be a system worth investigating as we develop tools to support assessment-based development.

SkillsNET - 1 views

  • We worked with a company called SkillsNET® because its algorithm is linked to the Department of Labor statistics and standards. When you are done doing the Job Task Analysis (JTA), you take that data and apply it to the algorithm and out comes a series of SkillObjects. SkillObjects are simply a way of bundling knowledge, skills, abilities and training into small, manageable, chunks of human resource data… Because of the SkillObjects we know what skills they [sailors] will need… and since we are more effectively utilizing our manpower, we can then optimally man our units.” Commander, Naval Education and Training Command, Vice Adm. J. Kevin Moran at the FORCEnet Engineering Conference briefing the Sea Warrior vision
  • “The SkillsNET approach gives the United States Navy flexibility in defining the skills necessary for particular positions and providing training and career development opportunities tailored to individual service members.” Spokesperson, Naval Air Warfare Center “The company’s software helps employers compare what skills their employees need to what skills they actually have, and then devises a plan for bridging any gaps.” Dallas Business Journal
  •  
    Could these SkillObjects be converted into SCORM definitions for TestLets, CourseLets, and SimLets?
  •  
    Wow.. this reads like something you wrote almost.. !! "manageable chunks of HR data" .. I'll look into this and see if they share their schema / data model.. SK PS I'm guessing you have a google alert set for JTA :)
