Wikigogy is C L O S E D Wikigogy saw little action. So I closed it. It had been an interesting two years with some spurts of generous content writing from a handful of people. However, most months had seen no activity except spam bot fighting. Wikigogy -- Closed as of August, 2008 -- was a networking Web site for teachers of English as a second or foreign language. Site may be removed soon. For now to fight spam efficiently Wikigogy will periodically be reverted to its August, 2008 state. Comments about the site closure are welcome on the Main page. --Roger 14:47, 24 August 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Competency based education

From the CBE Competency-Based Education Course Outline: ESL Beginning Low

Los Angeles Unified School Distric, Department of Adult and Career Education,
Instructional and Couseling Services Unit, Adult Curriculum Office, pg. 4.

• Objectives should be delineated and described in terms of measurable results for the student and include the possible ways in which the objectives contribute to the student’s acquisition of skills and competencies.
• Performance Objectives are sequentially listed in the COMPETENCY-BASED COMPONENTS section of the course outline. Competency Areas are units of instruction based on related competencies. Competency Statements are competency area goals that together define the framework and purpose of a course. Competencies fall on a continuum between goals and performance objectives and denote the outcome of instruction.
• Competency-based instruction tells a student before instruction what skills or knowledge they will demonstrate after instruction. Competency-based education provides instruction which enables each student to attain individual goals as measured against prestated standards.
• Competency-based instruction provides immediate and continual repetition and In competency-based education the curriculum, instruction, and assessment share common characteristics based on clearly stated competencies. Curriculum, instruction and assessment in competency-based education are: explicit, known, agreed upon, integrated, performance oriented, and adaptive.
