Competency is a skill attainment.
Competency areas are units of instruction based on related competencies. Competencies statements are competency area goals that together define the frame course. Related academic and other skills are competency area goals that define basic and employability skills such as math, reading, writing, critical thinking, personal development and pre-employment skills. Stating competency as a minimum does not mean minimum instruction. Activities and opportunities should be provided for students to achieve maximum potential.
