SECTION 1: OVERVIEW This resubmission of Georgian College’s Bachelor of Human Services (Police Studies) request for consent

renewal is in response to PEQAB’s request that we address the following Standards:

1. Degree Level Standard

degree-level expectations, particularly in writing and critical analysis;

2. Program Content Standard

Balance of Theory and Practice

Exposure to increasingly complex theory… and the application of that theory to practice

course descriptions and learning outcomes, revising them where necessary to make sure that an

appropriate amount of theory is represented and delivered;

the current fit of the Program Learning Outcomes, and the mapping of the course learning

outcomes onto them, and revise the course outlines to better reflect program learning

outcomes.

demonstrate where you have incorporated more use of primary resources in the syllabi

strengthened approach to ensure joint instructor and employer/supervisor assessments of work

terms.

3. Capacity to Deliver

current list of faculty members and their CVs

Georgian’s hiring plan for faculty in its degree programs as well as the status of the plan

please include, or be prepared to address at the site visit, information about scholarly

engagement of faculty

4. Program Evaluation:

updated Program Evaluation policy.

In order to address these Standards, action has occurred at both the program level and the institutional

level. The program engaged in an analysis of program and course learning outcomes, a review of the

prerequisite structure, the use of primary sources, and have implemented a focused hiring strategy. At the

institutional level, a Degree Development Office was established to centrally support program-wide degree

activity at Georgian, policies/procedures regarding program evaluation and professional development have

been established, and steering committees have been active in envisioning and implementing cultural

change with respect to research and scholarship.

As a result of this process, changes have been made which will be detailed in the body of this document

including:

Comprehensive analysis of course learning outcomes/descriptions and/or titles for all mandatory

core courses in the program. Changes resulted in learning outcomes that better reflect the work

5

being done in the course, that better differentiate the year level of the courses, and that support

the development of critical thinking, communication and research skills throughout the curriculum.

Complete revised set of Course Outlines is attached in Appendix 1.

Updating of program learning outcomes

Development of a syllabus template to reflect the readings done in the course outside that of the

required textbook

Approach to ensure joint instructor and employer/supervisor assessments of work terms

Institutional approval of a Program Evaluation Policy/Procedure

New financial support for faculty to engage in scholarly activity that keeps them current in their

field

Establishment of institutional steering committee to fulfill Georgian’s academic priority area of

Research, Innovation and Scholarship

Posting for two doctoral level faculty members in a related field, resulting in the hiring of one new

faculty member with a PhD in Investigative Psychology (CV attached), and a current position still

posted.

SECTION 3: REPORT

ASSESSMENT AGAINST PEQAB STANDARDS AND BENCHMARKS 1. DEGREE LEVEL STANDARD

Benchmark 1

The program meets or exceeds the degree level standard and the applicant demonstrated how the

program meets the standard.

Overall program structure changes and a thorough revisiting of the program learning outcomes

themselves, all of the course learning outcomes, the mapping of program learning outcomes onto

degree level outcomes, and then the mapping of specific course learning outcomes to program learning

outcomes has resulted in stronger scaffolding in all areas of the degree level standard. An overview of

the program learning outcomes and the extent to which they map onto degree level outcomes is

summarized in the table below. Note the integrated aspect of the Program Learning Outcomes, in that

many of them touch on several degree level outcomes. In general, and at every level in this program,

there is an integration of theory and application, depth and breadth, research and communication,

professional capacity and awareness of limits of knowledge. Attempts to discriminate between courses

or learning outcomes based on these concepts in this program is somewhat artificial. As a result, as you

will see in the subsequent table (Mapping of Course Learning Outcomes onto Program and Degree Level

Outcomes), many courses contribute to each of the degree level outcomes and to the program level

outcomes as well.

Mapping of Program Learning Outcomes onto Degree Level Outcomes

21

Further, the mapping of courses onto program learning outcomes and each of the components of the

degree level standard is found in the table below.

Depth & Breadth of Knowledge.

Depth. The Program has undertaken a comprehensive review of the Program Map, and in order to

ensure that students develop increasing depth of knowledge, the prerequisite structure of the program

has been revisited. New prerequisites resulting from this process have been included in the Course

Schedule 1 above. In addition, an overview of the program including the prerequisites within program

learning streams is illustrated in Figure 1. Learning Streams Chart with Prerequisites. Within each of the

general learning streams, the fundamental courses better support the upper level courses where

required, and also support the integration of learning across these streams. Although prerequisites

have been established where necessary to support higher conceptual levels of learning in upper year

courses, we are mindful also of supporting pathways of students from high-affinity diploma programs.

Breadth. In order to better acknowledge the integration and significance of the breadth requirement

throughout the Police Studies curriculum, two Program Learning Outcomes have been added:

The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to apply critical thinking and analytical skills

inside and outside the discipline.

The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to apply learning from one or more areas

outside the discipline

For a complete list of Program Learning Outcomes see the Program Outline in Appendix 2.

33

Figure 1. Learning Streams Chart with Prerequisites

34

With respect to the breadth requirement specifically, in May 2014 Georgian submitted a revised

Breadth Plan for assessment and consent. This plan has been previously reviewed. The requirements for

strengthening the non-core component of the program were addressed in that plan. In summary, the

plan for Breadth delivery at Georgian College represented a fresh view of the principles, structure and

delivery of the breadth curriculum in our degree programs. The process for developing this plan involved

the development of principles to guide our breadth programming, a comprehensive re-working of the

structure for delivery and sequencing of the courses, and modification of the prerequisite structure. As

a result of these changes, a large-scale recoding of our courses and revisiting of the learning outcomes

occurred. This process involved consultation with representatives from all Georgian degree program

areas, the Registrar’s office, and Macro Curriculum Committee.

The new Breadth Plan will be implemented in the proposed Police Studies curriculum. While this

breadth plan is not under assessment here, it is important to see the breadth delivery in the context of

the program, and how the proposed mandatory breadth courses fit in this plan. The proposed

mandatory breadth courses for the Bachelor of Police Studies are: Modes of Communication;

Multidisciplinary Research; Introduction to Psychology and Introduction to Sociology. For context, an

overview of the proposed breadth structure and the mandatory breadth courses in this program are

illustrated below.

35

Breadth Plan

(mandatory courses for Police Studies degree are in bold and underlined)

Conceptual and Methodological Awareness: Research and Scholarship

In order to support the development of Research and Scholarship skills, the mandatory breadth course

“Multidisciplinary Research” has been added in first year. In third year, the Research Methods course

further prepares students for the Honours Research Seminar course in fourth year. Changes have also

been made to the learning outcomes of the Honours Research Seminar which more explicitly describe

the research requirements of this capstone course.

POLC4016 Honours Research Seminar Revised Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course the student will reliably demonstrate the ability to:

1. Prepare a literature review including the history and development on a chosen research topic

using primary sources.

36

2. Utilize the principles of an argument to sustain a position that supports a theoretical

perspective.

3. Articulate and evaluate relevant methodological approaches.

4. Interpret and critically evaluate qualitative and quantitative research findings.

5. Apply research findings within the context of policing, policy and criminal justice practices.

Furthermore, research is supported throughout the curriculum through the following course learning

outcomes:

Communication Skills

In order to provide a stronger foundation in communication skills, the new breadth course “INTS 1007

Modes of Communication” has been added as a mandatory breadth course. In addition, the mandatory

37

breadth course “INTS1002 Multidisciplinary Research” supports the communication and critical thinking

learning outcomes associated with research. These courses add to the program the following learning

outcomes to much more stongly scaffold the writing and critical analysis skills required for the Honours

Research Seminar courses, and for degree learning in general:

Professional Capacity and Autonomy.

In the field of police studies, professional capacity and autonomy are critical. Courses throughout the

program focus on the development of professional skills, best practices, ethical considerations, values,

required physical capacity and health issues related to the profession. Again, in our reevaluation of

39

course learning outcomes, we have attempted to make sure that the professional attributes and

knowledge imparted in these courses are appropriately articulated. Course learning outcomes related

to employing professional behaviours and the autonomy related to understanding and valuing these

behaviours are listed below.

2. PROGRAM CONTENT STANDARD

The program offers an education of sufficient rigour, breadth, and depth to achieve the knowledge and skills

identified in the degree level standard.

Benchmark 1

The program ensures an appropriate balance of theory and practice.

With respect to the balance of theory and practice, we see these two elements as being integrated

throughout many of the mandatory courses in this Program. Whereas in other programs the division

between theory and practice may be more well-defined, and addressed in different courses, the

multidisciplinary nature of Policing lends itself to a more integrated approach to the theory/practice

balance. The course titles tend to emphasize the applied aspects of the course, but the theoretical

frameworks are at least equally important in these courses. The new mandatory courses, Research

Methods, and Honours Research Seminar, were certainly intended to enhance the theoretical and research

portions of the curriculum in the upper years. In addition to the mandatory core courses represented on the

following map of learning streams, the special topics courses and the breadth courses are an important and

essential contribution to the academic/theoretical learning in this program. Combined, the proportion of

theory delivered to our students is substantial.

A careful analysis of course descriptions and learning outcomes has been undertaken to ensure that they

better represent the amount, type and level of theory being delivered in the Police Studies courses. Table 2

presents a new theory/practice balance map which was constructed based on the presence of theory as a

learning outcome in the courses coloured as containing theoretical content.

Table 2. Balance of Theory and Practice

43

In addition, the Theory Learning Outcomes table below breaks out the specific course learning outcomes

that contribute to theoretical knowledge as they develop through each semester.

the goal of integrating related academic theory and application to deepen understanding of the disciplines

underlying physical fitness and mental health, and also to ensure that increasing levels of skill are expected

from each course. The course outlines for these courses are attached in Appendix 1, and the revised learning

outcomes are copied here for your convenience:

Benchmark 2

The Program Advisory Committee:

a) includes experts in the field external to the organization and, for degrees in applied and professional

areas of study, employers and representatives from industry and professional associations;

Since the renewal, a new member has been added to the PAC. Shawna Coxon has a PhD in Criminal Law and

is a Sessional Lecturer for the University of Guelph, Department of Sociology and for the Guelph-Humber

Justice Studies joint degree/diploma program. Her CV is attached to this submission in Appendix 3. The

program continues to reach out for academic candidates for the PAC.

46

Benchmark 4

All courses provide exposure to increasingly complex theory at the degree level and, in applied or

professional courses and where otherwise appropriate, the application of that theory to practice and the

demands of practice in the field(s).

Exposure to increasingly complex theory at the degree level, and application of theory to practice are

supported and demonstrated in the following ways:

1. The revised prerequisite structure, as described earlier, better supports the development of increasing

complexity.

2. As indicated in our response, the apparent reliance throughout the program on textbooks is more a

function of the lack of specificity of the Evaluation section on our Course Outlines and lack of a Syllabus

template encouraging faculty members to list primary source readings. Please find below a list of

supplementary materials required by students in core police studies courses in the past year. Sample syllabi

using a new syllabus template to document readings are attached in Appendix 4.

3. The revised learning outcomes more accurately reflect the theory delivered in core courses. Examples of

the increasing complexity of theory of course learning outcomes are detailed below. Note that these

learning outcomes occur in each semester and become increasingly complex, from reading, describing and

identifying in the early semesters, to application of theory to critical discussion, analysis, and sustaining an

argument to support a theoretical perspective, in the upper years.

In addition, we would like to assure the assessors that there are sufficient primary source materials available

for students in the Police Studies program. An updated list of holdings and database availability is attached

in Appendix 5.

Benchmark 5

Time allotments assigned to the program as a whole and to its components are appropriate to the stated

learning outcomes.

A critical analysis of Program Learning Outcomes and the Course Outcomes that support them, has lead the

team to propose changes to two of the Program Learning Outcomes. Program Learning Outcome 8,

previously “Assess and analyze the effectiveness and appropriateness of information security policies and

procedures” was considered to be outdated and too specific. The program has proposed to change it to

“Assess and analyze the effectiveness and current relevance of judicial policies and procedures”. This

rephrasing and reorientation allows the program the ability to maintain conversations of current relevance

in the judicial landscape. In addition, a rewording for clarity of Program Learning Outcome 11 from “develop

short and long term personal and professional goals and develop personal relationships that assist with

ongoing career planning” to “Develop short and long term personal and professional goals and networking

that assist with ongoing career planning”.

A complete list of the program learning outcomes can be seen in the Revised Program Outline (Appendix 2).

With respect to the specific learning outcomes mentioned by the review panel, 3, 6 and 9, we address each

of them below indicating how each is supported and what changes are now proposed.

Program Learning Outcome 3: Apply computer literacy and effective oral and written communication skills

applicable to the policing profession.

Benchmark 7

The curriculum reflects current knowledge in the core field(s).

As indicated in our response to Benchmark 2.4 above, we will undergo a much more directed attempt to

make sure that students are exposed to primary sources, and scaffolded in their ability to read, critically

analyze, and use this information as evidence in well-articulated academic work, while continuing to provide

our excellent currency in police practice and knowledge.

As we had indicated in our previous response regarding the assessors’ concern that there was too much

reliance on textbooks, the documentation of supplementary readings does often not occur in the course

syllabus since it is developed through the course as current events and responsiveness to student interest

dictate. We are attempting to document these readings and other sources of current material. The table

49

below provides examples of the types and currency of readings that supplement the textbook in many of the

current courses. In some cases, particularly in the upper level courses, these are primary source scholarly

materials.

policing, administration support systems, forensic and scenes of crime support, police member training,

education and development strategies and human resource operations.

2. Identify and use the personal and professional development resources available to the police community

and the activities used to promote growth and contribute to lifelong learning within the public policing

profession.

3. Meet the ethical, legal, and safety requirements and standards as set by the professional. These

requirements may be specific to your sponsor agency.

4. Demonstrate effective communications in all forms including: written and/or electronic methods and be

able to recognize operational and tactical communication systems and related skills.

5. Interact with others in a variety of emergency and non-emergency situations in a manner that

demonstrates confidence, professionalism, and sensitivity to others and to the situation.

7. Use effective and appropriate problem-solving and decision-making skills in administrative and

operational situations.

8. Work effectively with other members of the police service, and other justice related groups to provide

comprehensive service in administrative and operational situations.

With respect to evaluation of the student performance, students in this program do a co-op preparatory program

which is taught by a qualified masters-level faculty member. This preparatory program is evaluated by the faculty

member (pass/fail) prior to entering the workplace. The program will require that students submit written

reflections requiring self-awareness and integration of the work experiences that will be jointly assessed by the

employer/staff member and the masters-level faculty member that teaches the preparatory program. In this way

progress, development and consistency in the development of essential skills and values can be assessed. In

addition, monitoring the progress, experience and needs of students at completion will inform the faculty

member’s pedagogy in the preparatory program.

5. CAPACITY TO DELIVER STANDARD

The college has the capacity to deliver the quality of education necessary for students to attain the stated and necessary learning outcomes.

Benchmark 8

All faculty teaching in the professional or main field of study and, where appropriate, acting as thesis

supervisors and/or members of examining committees:

c) engage in a level of scholarship, research or creative activity sufficient to ensure their and currency in the

field13.

Clarification footnote (2014): 13In assessing faculty members’ currency and engagement with scholarship, research, or creative activity,

the following may be considered, provided that these contributions are in a form (in a phrase adapted from

Boyer) “subject to critical review and allowing use/exchange by other members of the scholarly

community.” In all cases, such contributions may take digital form. In general, the Board seeks evidence

that faculty are intellectually engaged with developments in their fields, including but not limited to

publishing and/or reviewing professional publications in their fields

participation and/or presentations at provincial, national, and international conferences, competitions,

or exhibitions in their fields

engagement with the scholarship of pedagogy in their fields

participation in regulatory and accrediting association workshops, degree audits, or related work in their

fields

engagement in basic and/or applied research, labour market research, and/or related industry needs

assessments

application of conceptual knowledge to current practice in their fields, such as reports to industry or

consulting work

creative contributions to their fields through exhibitions or related forms

development of case studies in their fields.

The Panel was only partly satisfied in their review of evidence that Georgian College has achieved a level of

scholarly activity within the Police Studies degree to ensure that faculty teaching within the various

disciplines sustain currency.

Boyer (1990) challenged the traditional paradigm associated with college/university scholarship to expand

its classification to include the scholarship of discovery, the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of

application, and the scholarship of teaching. Boyer (1990) argued that research and scholarship includes

scholarly outcomes that are publicly observable either through peer reviewed publication or in a form that

allows exchange with other members of the scholarly community, for example an unpublished article, an

audio or video presentation, a written report, website, or development of an innovative technology. This

definition is similarly articulated in the PEQAB clarification footnote for Benchmark 8 as reproduced above.

To clarify our definitions regarding these types of scholarship, the table below (Types of Scholarship)

includes an overall definition of the area and examples of activities included in published and unpublished

58

scholarship are from Braxton, Luckey and Helland (2002) Institutionalizing a Broader View of Scholarship

Through Boyer’s Four Domains.

Types of Scholarship (based on Boyer, 1990)

Scholarship of Discovery

“The first and most familiar element in our model, the scholarship of discovery, comes closest to

what is meant when academics speak of “research…the commitment to knowledge for its

own sake, to freedom of inquiry and to following, in a disciplined fashion, an investigation

wherever it may lead.”

(Boyer, 1990)

Published Unpublished but publicly observable

Includes what is traditionally called “basic

research”

Examples:

-A book or book chapter describing a new

theory developed by the author

-A refereed journal article reporting findings of

research designed to gain new knowledge

Examples:

-A paper presented that describes a new theory

developed by the author

-A paper presented that reports the findings of

research designed to gain new knowledge

-A report on research findings to a granting

agency

Scholarship of Application

“…the application of knowledge moves toward engagement as the scholar asks, “How can knowledge be responsibly applied to consequential problems? How can it be helpful to individuals as well as

institutions?” (Boyer, 1990)


Includes what is traditionally considered “applied research” published in a peer-reviewed journal Examples: -An article that applies new disciplinary knowledge to a practical problem -An article reporting findings of research designed to solve a practical problem -An article that proposes an approach to bridging of theory and practice

Examples: -Applied research reports such as studies conducted for local organizations, professional associations, local government agency, help solve a community, county or provincial problem. - Development of an innovative technology - Seminars for laypersons on a current topic in the discipline -Development of a new process for dealing with a problem of practice

Scholarship of Integration

“In proposing the scholarship of integration, we underscore the need for scholars who give meaning to isolated facts, putting them in perspective. By integration, we mean making

connections across the disciplines, placing the specialties in larger context, illuminating data

59

in a revealing way, often educating nonspecialists, too.” (Boyer, 1990, p. 18)


Examples: -A review of the literature on a disciplinary or interdisciplinary topic, -A book chapter on the application of a research method borrowed from an academic discipline outside one’s own, a book chapter on the application -An article addressing a current disciplinary or interdisciplinary topic published by the popular press

Examples: -A talk on a current disciplinary topic given on a local radio or television station -A talk on a current disciplinary topic given for a local business or non-academic professional association -A lecture on a current disciplinary topic given for a local high school or community college

Scholarship of Teaching (and Learning)

“As a scholarly enterprise, teaching begins with what the teacher knows. Those who teach must, above all, be well informed, and steeped in the knowledge of their fields. Teaching can be well

regarded only as professors are widely read and intellectually engaged… Teaching is also a dynamic endeavor involving all the analogies, metaphors, and images that build bridges between the

teacher’s understanding and the student’s learning. Pedagogical procedures must be carefully planned, continuously examined, and relate directly to the subject taught.”

“In the end, inspired teaching keeps the flame of scholarship alive. Almost all successful academics

give credit to creative teachers—those mentors who defined their work so compellingly that it became, for them, a lifetime challenge. Without the teaching function, the continuity of knowledge

will be broken and the store of human knowledge dangerously diminished. (Boyer, 1990)


Examples: -Publication listing resources materials for a course or new instructional method -Publication reporting a new teaching approach developed by the author -Publication on the use of a new instructional practice and the alterations made to make it successful -Publication on an approach or strategy for dealing with class management problems faced in teaching a particular type of course -Publication on an approach or strategy to help students to think critically about course concepts

Examples: -Presentation about new instructional techniques to colleagues -Development of a collection of resource materials for one’s subject area -Construction of a novel examination or testing practice -Experimentation with new teaching methods or activities in the classroom -Trying a new instructional practice and altering it until it is successful -Creation of an approach or strategy to help students to think critically about course concepts

60

In our Response document we outlined these areas and described the contributions of Police Studies

faculty in each area. In addition to broadening the definition of scholarship, this range of scholarly

activity allows individual institutions and programs to determine areas of scholarship of particular

value. We are having ongoing discussions at all levels at the College about ways to define and support

our faculty in these endeavors. Clear institutional support for research, scholarship and innovation at

Georgian is demonstrated by the fact that one of the seven priorities in Georgian’s Academic Plan for

2014-2017 is to “Develop a culture of research, innovation and scholarship”. The plan proposes:

“Over the next three years, we will strengthen partnerships and enrich the learning environment by

expanding opportunities for students and faculty to participate in research, innovation and scholarship

activities across all programs”. To this end, a Research, Innovation and Scholarship Working Group has

been established, sponsored by the VP Academic, to realize this commitment. The Project Charter for

this working group has defined the following objectives:

1. To define and enhance visibility of research, innovation and scholarship at Georgian College.

2. To develop enabling governance structures, policies, processes, tools and professional

development.

3. To enhance the College’s capacity to secure funding for research, innovation and scholarship.

4. To enhance the College’s capacity to meet degree quality assurance benchmarks which

require faculty teaching in their main field of study to engage in a level of scholarship,

research or creative activity sufficient to ensure their currency in the field.

5. To enhance communication, engagement and sharing of research, innovation and scholarship

activities.

6. To increase participation of faculty and students in scholarly activities across all academic

portfolios.

7. To determine the level of involvement and scope of activities that Georgian can support

towards College and Community based business (e.g., development of designs and

technologies, market research, etc.)

Research and Scholarship Inventory

In order to better document, measure and share the growth and types of research and scholarship in

which our faculty are engaged, we have adapted for on-line use, a version of the Inventory of

Scholarship published in Braxton, Luckey and Helland (2002) Institutionalizing a Broader View of

Scholarship Through Boyer’s Four Domains.

The results of this Inventory for faculty teaching in the core Police Studies courses are illustrated

below. For the purposes of reporting here, and consistent with the PEQAB clarification footnote, we

have included only Scholarly Outcomes, those that involve demonstrable sharing of current

knowledge in the field. They provide a contextual snapshot of the current culture of scholarship

among the faculty, and will also provide us will one way of documenting it’s growth and qualitative

changes as institutional infrastructures supporting research and scholarship provide the support for a

cultural change.

Inventory of Research and Scholarship Results. The tables below present results from the

Inventory of Scholarship. It was completed by 15 faculty teaching in core Police Studies courses. This

61

inventory is intended to provide an overview of the different types of activity in which our faculty

report they have been engaged in the past 5 years. For each faculty member this is not an indication

of the amount of activity in each area, or but the fact that they have engaged in it. You will see in the

tables below, that the core Police Studies faculty are engaged in a number of different activities of

scholarship that keep them current in their fields.

Benchmark 9

At least 50% of the students experience in the professional or main field of study is in courses taught by a

faculty member holding the terminal academic credential in the field or in a closely related field/discipline.

Clarification of Benchmark (2014)

At least 50% of the students’ experience in the professional or main field of study is in courses taught by a

faculty member holding the terminal academic credential in the field or in a closely related

field/discipline.14,15

14Generally, and in the context of a practicable schedule of teaching assignments, the percentage can be

achieved if 50% of all faculty teaching core courses in the program hold the terminal academic credential in

the field or in a closely related field/discipline or if 50% of all core courses or all hours in core courses in the

program are taught by faculty with a terminal academic credential in the field or in a closely related field.

We address Benchmark 9 in the context of PEQAB’s recent clarification of how terminal academic

credentials can be counted. In the time since the original Renewal of this program, substantial effort has

been taken to hire both full- and part-time faculty members with doctorate-level credentials in a related

field of study for appropriate courses. Two full-time hires requiring a doctorate were posted in March, 2014,

and one of those has currently been filled with a new hire having a PhD in Investigative Psychology. In

addition, more courses are being taught by part-time faculty with terminal credentials. An updated file of

CVs for our current faculty is attached in Appendix 6. As a result, with the current complement of faculty,

and in the context of the current curriculum, the planned Winter2015 loading for the Bachelor of Human

Services (Police Studies) program can be seen below:

Thus, of the 15 sections being taught next semester, 8/15 (53%) are being taught by faculty with doctoral

level credentials this winter.

In addition, the fitness skills courses Human Kinetics for Policing, Ergonomics and Wellness, and Physical

Fitness Training for Policing contain 50% psychomotor skills requiring practice that to a great extent fulfill

the requirements of skills-based “studio” courses, and the terminal degree for these courses should require

a less academic and more hands-on credential. Like studio courses, these courses have as their

predominant intent the development of applied, intensive, hands-on skills specific to a creative field, take

place in a specialized facility dedicated to the space, and require equipment and material needs to enhance

skill development. These courses are characterized by the progressive development of all domains of

learning (cognitive, affective and psychomotor) and require sustained practice related to the applied field of

study. A minimum of 50% of faculty-student contact hours within the course are devoted to faculty-guided

hands-on practice in the specialized facility. Normally, class sizes found in studio courses are a fraction of

class sizes found in non-studio courses. The terminal credential for faculty leading studio-based courses is

determined for each program and may be a master’s degree in a related field. The faculty member teaching

these courses has a MA in Leadership, and a Bachelor’s of Physical Education. There are no Masters

programs in Physical Education in Ontario. Under this definition, 9/15 sections are being taught by faculty

with terminal credentials.

While the program does currently have over 50% of faculty teaching with doctoral level credentials, the

proposed revisions to the curriculum include new courses and revisions to previous courses. In order to

deliver the proposed curriculum with faculty credentials meeting or exceeding the standard, a new full-time

faculty hire with a terminal credential is required, and has been posted. That posting is attached in

Appendix 7. Keeping in mind that the new curriculum will roll out one year at a time and that a new full-

time faculty member is being recruited, a practicable schedule for faculty course assignment for the

proposed core course curriculum has been identified.

Masters level. In addition, please find in the Appendix 8 a President’s exception letter for Phil DeBruyne,

who teaches the Professional Standards in Policing course. Mr. DeBruyne’s qualifications to teach this

course are second to none, and despite the fact that he holds a Master’s degree, we have submitted a

Presidents’ exception letter to support that his qualifications and experience, and standing provincially in

the area of Professional Standards place him at a terminal credential level. When both of these conditions

are agreed upon, the program meets the benchmark requiring 50% faculty with terminal credentials with

the faculty currently employed. However, the upper years of the program in particular, require the hiring of

one more full-time faculty member at a terminal degree level. When this individual is hired, within a

practicable schedule of courses, the benchmark will be met for the new proposed curriculum.
