In an overview of a very comprehensive and current trend in personnel training, that of a "competency-based" format, it is apparent that there exists certain and specific aspects of what perhaps constitutes a "total" program in competency-based methodology. These aspects are competency identification, competency organization, competency analysis, competency units, competency evaluation, and competency feedback. The Rocky Mountain Regional Resource Center, in cooperation with the University of Utah Department of Special Education, is field testing a competency-based training program designed to maximize the effectiveness of classroom teacher skills in providing remedial services to handicapped children. The training program is designed to prepare the "generalist" as the agent best to develop and expand these functions. Hopefully the model will show relevance not only to the special educator, but also to other personnel types. (Author)
