COMPETENCIES FOR PROFESSIONALS IN LEARNING DISABILITIES
Phyllis L. Newcomer
A major role of any professional organization is to establish standards by which professionals and practices in the field can be evaluated. DCLD has taken a major step In this direction by developing a set of competencies for teachers of learning disabled children and youth. This article presents the rationale behind the development of these competencies as well as potential uses of the com- petency statements. The development of this set of competency statements underscores the Division's commitment to upgrading current practices. Readers are strongly encouraged to provide feedback to Dr. Newcomer's Committee on the scope, format, and content of the competency statements. Meaningful stan- dards can best be derived from these statements through a broad base of Input from professionals in the field. - D.D.D. (Reprinted from Volume 1, Number 2, Spring 1978)
