                 1	     CBT	    is	    a	    structured	    approach	    to	    training	    and	    assessment	    directed	    towards	   
                        achieving	   specific	   outcomes.	   	   

                 2	     CBT	   is	   about	   assisting	   individuals	   to	   acquire	   skills	   and	   knowledge	   so	   they	   are	   able	   
                        to	   perform	   a	   task(s)	   to	   a	   specified	   standard	   under	   certain	   conditions.	   	   
                 3	     The	   outcomes	   to	   be	   achieved	   are	   clearly	   stated	   so	   that	   learners	   identify	   exactly	   
                        what	   they	   have	   to	   be	   able	   to	   do,	   Educators	   and	   Master	   Educators	   understand	   what	   
                        training	   or	   learning	   is	   to	   be	   provided	   and	   OSEP	   defines	   the	   skill	   levels	   required	   of	   
                        their	   participants.	   

                 4	     The	    emphasis	    in	    OSEP	    competency-  based	    training	    approach	    is	    on	    performing	   
                        rather	   than	   just	   knowing.	   

                 5	     All	   OSEP	   training	   is	   to	   be	   delivered	   using	   CBT	   principles	   and	   practices	   with	   OSEP	   
                        Educators	   and	   Master	   Educators	   using	   activity-  based	   methods	   to	   assist	   learners	   to	   
                        develop	   competence	   in	   their	   chosen	   program.	   

                 6	     Staff,	    facilities,	    equipment,	    training	    and	    assessment	    materials	    used	    to	    meet	    the	   
                        requirements	    of	    OSEP	    training	    and	    CBT	    strategies	    and	    are	    developed	    through	   
                        effective	   consultation	   with	   relevant	   stakeholder(s).	   
                 8	     OSEP	   CBT	   is	   designed	   to	   allow	   participants	   to	   learn	   through	   experiential	   activities	   
                        used	   to	   develop	   cognitive	   and	   psychomotor	   skills	   related	   to	   their	   vocational	   roles.	   

                 9	     OSEP	    CBT	    recognises	    that	    learners	    develop	    competency	    at	    their	    own	    rate	    and	   
                        allows	   for	   individual	   rate	   of	   development	   by	   learners	   within	   the	   OSEP	   training.	   

                 10	     OSEP	    outcomes	    are	    assessed	    against	    a	    set	    of	    known	    criteria	    at	    the	    appropriate	   
                        level	   of	   the	   program	   outcomes	   and	   learners	   are	   trained	   to	   this	   minimum	   standard	   
                        as	   part	   of	   their	   program.	   	   

                 11	   	     The	    use	    of	    CBT	    allows	    OSEP	    Educators	    to	    use	    their	    time	    more	    efficiently	    and	   
                        effectively	   because	   they	   facilitate	   learning	   as	   opposed	   to	   presenting	   lectures.	   

                 12	   	     All	   OSEP	   Educators	   will	   deliver	   the	   programs	   in	   their	   entirety	   or	   as	   directed	   by	   the	   
                        OSEP	   Coordinator,	   and	   not	   just	   choose	   sections	   they	   prefer	   to	   deliver.	   

                 13	   	     OSEP	   requires	   that	   some	   training	   time	   is	   devoted	   to	   evaluating	   learner’s	   ability	   to	   
                        perform	   by	   the	   use	   of	   formative	   assessment	   tasks	   completed	   during	   the	   sessions.
