2020/2021 Student Competency Record Biological Applications in Agriculture8086-36 weeks___________________________________Student___________________________________School Year___________________________________School___________________________________Teacher SignatureTraditional letter or numerical grades do not provide adequate documentation of student achievement in competency-based education; therefore, the Virginia Standards for CBE require a recording system to provide information about competencies achieved to employer, student-employee, and teacher. The Student Competency Record provides a means for keeping track of student progress. Ratings are assigned by the teacher for classroom competency achievement and by the teacher-coordinator in conjunction with the training sponsor when competence is evaluated on the job.Tasks/competencies designated "Required" are considered essential statewide and are required of all students. In some courses, all tasks/competencies have been identified as required. Tasks/competencies marked "Optional" are considered optional; they and/or additional tasks/competencies may be taught at the discretion of the school division. Tasks/competencies marked with an asterisk (*) are considered sensitive, and teachers should obtain approval by the school division before teaching them. Student competency records should be kept as long as the student is enrolled in the school and for five years after the student graduates/leaves the school.Note: Students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or an Individualized Student Alternative Education Plan (ISAEP) will be rated, using the following scale, only on the competencies identified in their IEP or ISAEP.Students will be expected to achieve a satisfactory rating (one of the three highest marks) on the Student Competency Record (SCR) rating scale on at least 80% of the required (essential) competencies in a CTE course....RATING SCALE...1 - Can teach others2 - Can perform without supervision3 - Can perform with limited supervision4 - Can perform with supervision5 - Cannot perform808636 weeksBiological Applications in AgricultureTASKS/COMPETENCIESDateRatingDemonstrating Personal Qualities and AbilitiesRequired1Demonstrate creativity and innovation.Required2Demonstrate critical thinking and problem solving.Required3Demonstrate initiative and self-direction.Required4Demonstrate integrity.Required5Demonstrate work ethic.Demonstrating Interpersonal SkillsRequired6Demonstrate conflict-resolution skills.Required7Demonstrate listening and speaking skills.Required8Demonstrate respect for diversity.Required9Demonstrate customer service skills.Required10Collaborate with team members.Demonstrating Professional CompetenciesRequired11Demonstrate big-picture thinking.Required12Demonstrate career- and life-management skills.Required13Demonstrate continuous learning and adaptability.Required14Manage time and resources.Required15Demonstrate information-literacy skills.Required16Demonstrate an understanding of information security.Required17Maintain working knowledge of current information-technology systems.Required18Demonstrate proficiency with technologies, tools, and machines common to a specific occupation.Required19Apply mathematical skills to job-specific tasks.
