What Is IDD Competencies

"ibstpi® defines a competency as:...an integrated set of skills, knowledge, and attitudes that enables one to effectively perform the activities of a given occupation or function to the standards expected in employment. The ibstpi® competencies are statements of behavior - not personality traits or beliefs, but they do often reflect attitudes. ibstpi® competencies are correlated with performance on a job and are typically measured against commonly accepted standards"(IBSTPI site).
"The International Board of Standards for Training, Performance and Instruction (ibstpi®) is a not-for-profit corporation that provides leadership to the community by setting the standards"(IBSTPI site).
