| [JOINT] Portfolio Assessment of Student Competency: a Blueprint for Implementation | ||||||||
| Description: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The topic of portfolio assessment is both timely and important since all dental educators are required by accreditation, their educational institutions, the public, and other important stakeholders to demonstrate and ensure the competency of their students. In this program, attendees will begin by comparing and contrasting traditional and non-traditional measures of student competency including GPA, National Board scores, clinic grades, clinical licensure examinations, and portfolios and then discussing what the research has shown about both traditional and non-traditional measures of student competency. The speakers will then illustrate how three educational programs in different jurisdictions and in varying stages of development and implementation have utilized portfolio assessment as a non-traditional measure of student competency. Finally, through small group discussion, participants will apply the information provided in the workshop to design a blueprint for how portfolio assessment could be implemented in dental institutions | ||||||||
