The Future of Nursing Education: A Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing Competency-Based Education

Competency-based education provides an avenue to promote institutional accountability, address employer concerns, and assist with student transfer of knowledge and skills.

-Mary Ellen Smith Glasgow, PhD, RN, ANEF, FAAN Dean and Professor Duquesne University

The first book of its kind, this concise, step-by-step guide is designed for both novice and experienced educators, distilling all the essentials needed to implement a Competency-Based Education (CBE) curriculum, teach with competencies, and evaluate students’ mastery. Grounded in a learner-centered paradigm, CBE focuses on outcomes and skills rather than relying on time-based training, facilitating in-depth learning that encompasses all three learning domains – cognitive, skills, and attitudes – guided by the individual pace of each student.
