Teacher Signature
Traditional 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.
Note: Students with an Individualized Education Plan (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.
