The Essentials

March 4 & 7, 2025 Virtual Essentializing Your Curriculum: Moving Forward with Competency-Based Education Workshop

Description

Registration for this workshop is now full. Please reach out to essentials@aacnnursing.org to be added to the waitlist.

Expanding on the popular series of in-person, regional workshops, AACN is offering a virtual program for faculty seeking strategies, resources, and solutions for adapting their nursing programs to meet the Essentials. Essentializing Your Curriculum: Moving Forward with Competency-Based Education (CBE) is designed to accelerate your program’s transition to CBE.

This virtual, two-half-day workshop will be held on March 4 and 7 from 12:00-4:00 pm (ET) both days. Attendance will be required for both days. The workshop will offer initial training in CBE provided by AACN’s Essentials Coaches and experts with the Competency-Based Education Network (C-BEN). The content will be similar to previous workshops, providing information on the move to CBE, in-depth training in curricular transition, and using AI to develop assessment rubrics based on progression indicators (observable behaviors of the sub-competencies). Participants will engage in pre-work prior to the workshop and collaborative learning through virtual breakout rooms to apply concepts and develop practical solutions.
