ARM 10.58.901. STANDARDS FOR APPROVING COMPETENCY-BASED OR PERFORMANCE-BASED PROGRAMS

(1) These standards apply to all competency-based and performance-based teacher education programs. For each program, the institution shall: (a) develop and adopt an explicit statement of "program exit" competencies that relate to the entry-level professional role. These competencies must include all of the criteria implicit in the general standards (subchapter 4) and specific standards (subchapter 5); (b) provide a program design that: (i) relates the competencies (cited in (a) above) to modules, subcourses, or courses; (ii) lists the learning activities involved; and (iii) specifies the assessment techniques used to verify the attainment of these competencies; (c) formally assess follow-up data to determine the relationship between "exit" competencies and initial professional role performance. Such assessment shall be considered in program development; and (d) use an on-site evaluation team, designated by the board of public education, to determine the institution's performance in the development and verification of a candidate's role competency and in the collection and use of follow-up data.
