There is a lot of work required to build, offer, and teach a competency-based education course. As part of our preparations for the Alternative Pathway to Professional Licensure Eligibility (APPLE) – Elementary Education, we are offering a series of workshops for MLC faculty during the spring term. We’ve planned out the first seven topics and will use the feedback and questions from these meetings to plan future sessions.
