Preparing and Using Individualized Learning Packages for Ungraded, Continuous Progress Education
Abstract: The main goal of an Individual Learning Package (ILP) is to assist teachers in creating learning environments that are more humanized. ILP's should permit students to learn at their own unique rates, to have alternative ways to meet stated goals, to plan their own learning sequences, and to be successful with varying levels of self-initiative and self-direction. Presenting the ILP approach to instructional management through curriculum design, the curriculum components are: what will be learned (concept, skill and value statements), what changes will occur (learning objectives), what will facilitate those changes (IL materials and activities), how evaluation can help (pre-,self- and post-evaluation), and finally, future goals. Organizing the ILP components and evaluating for ILP improvement are discussed.

Competency-based Education
Abstract: Performance-based, or competency-based education (CBE) is a concept for teaching which applies to all learning levels, as presented in a collection of papers written by educators who support its theory, implications, and practical application. CBE evolved from a philosophy of education that specifies behavioral objectives for which criterion levels of performance, or competency, are defined; an instructional plan aims the learner toward achieving these minimum expectancies. CBE and traditional educational systems are compared from a psychological viewpoint. Topics explored in this sourcebook for the CBE program include empathy-competence, affective behaviors, instructional techniques, curriculum design, achievement testing, and teacher certification. The special issues of communications technology, the open classroom, and urban children examine the implementation of competency-based learning in the schools. An annotated bibliography reviews research efforts in performance-based teacher education.
