Summary: This report introduces the Instructor Competencies Assessment Instrument (ICAI), which was designed to help programs verify and validate competencies with their staff and use the information for program improvement and professional development planning. The ICAI can be used with the Management Competencies Assessment Instrument to provide a more complete illustration of a program’s strengths and areas for improvement. For each competency in the ICAI, there are associated performance indicators. In addition to a rating scale for each indicator, space is provided for information regarding supporting evidence and comments. The evidence may take many forms: interviews, questionnaires, observations, documentation, portfolios, journals, and lesson plans. The ICAI may be used in several ways: needs assessment, planning professional development, the workshop/presentation approach, the peer coaching/mentoring method, the inquiry/research approach, and curriculum/product development. The ICAI can red-flag areas of needed program and instructional change; however, bringing about lasting systemic change requires additional structure and effort. Appendices include: the Instructor Competencies, Performance Indicators, and Sample Illustrations of the Performance Indicators; the Instructor Competencies Assessment Instrument; and a Summary Profile for Instructor Competencies.
