Discussed is the City University of New York's Competency Based Teacher Education Project to develop instructional modules for pre- or inservice training of teachers for the handicapped. Noted among project activities are the training of university faculty members and field testing of modules. A module includes five elements: an overview of the module's rationale, major assumptions, and place in the overall teacher training scheme; objectives which specify the knowledge, skills, and/or attitudes a learner is expected to demonstrate; pre- and postassessment measures to determine the learner's level of competency before and after course completion; and instructional activities. Briefly described are project modules on family reactions to the handicapped child, parent involvement in the education of young handicapped children, interpersonal perception, and modality linking.
