Certificate in Adult Education Curriculum Validation Final Report
Introduction The Curriculum Validation process for the Adult Teacher Education Certificate program began in January 2006, following the Curriculum Validation – Program renewal model designed by the program and Curriculum Development (P&CD) department and approved by the Red River College (RRC) Senior Academic Committee. The intent of the Curriculum Validation model is to analyze the status of the program and to chart a course for program renewal. The Process uses a structured format identifying the current college expectations, a description and vision for a desired future state, and a 5year plan for creating the desired future state.
Curriculum Validation Deliverables: The Certificate in Adult Education Curriculum Validation process involved 8 interrelated deliverables:
1. Environmental Scan and Analysis of the key findings of similar programs across Canada.
2. Industry Occupational Analysis (DACUM) 3. Graduate Skills and Abilities Chart 4. Graduate Profile 5. Focus Groups 6. Program Renewal Plan 7. A 5year Program Renewal Plan in Gantt Chart format 8. Final Report
Outcomes from the Deliverables:
1. Environmental Scan and Key Findings (Appendix A) The Environmental Scan provides the faculty and chair with information about similar programs that are offered in Colleges and Universities locally and nationally. The scan focused on degree/certificate granting programs at universities/colleges that were comparable to the Adult Teacher Education Certificate program offered at Red River College. Research indicates that a number of programs adopted a similar model following the unique program delivered at the college. The research involved locating universities/colleges with comparable programs through the internet with a followup contact by email or telephone to confirm the findings and add additional information that was not available on the website. The programs were compared in relation to size, program features, curriculum model,
2
entrance requirements, curriculum content, student assessment, program features, credentials offered and partnerships. Other details were included on a casebycase basis when discovered during the research. The information was gathered by the Curriculum Validation Facilitator through web sites, email and telephone contact. The scan gathered information under the following categories:
• Name of institution, location, contact person
• Size of program
• Credentials offered
• Program features
• Curriculum Model
• Curriculum Content
• Student Assessment
• Current and Coming Challenges
• Curriculum Renewal
• Partnerships

Analysis The study results indicate that three programs ladder into an adult degree program. All programs offer facetoface delivery and distance education as a platform for delivery. All have a resources center mandated to develop faculty. A number of programs offer a variety of electives. One program focuses on aboriginal adult education and another on elearning.
2. Industry Occupational Analysis (DACUM) Chart (Appendix B) The Industry Occupational Analysis using the DACUM process is a familiar component of the curriculum development process at Red River College and provides the program with a description of regional occupational needs. Included in the process is the identification of emerging and retiring industry trends. Instructors from Assiniboine Community College, Red River College, and the University of the North were invited to a 2day DACUM workshop on March 6 and 7th. The end product was the development of the DACUM chart (see Appendix B for the completed chart.) The resulting Adult Teacher Certificate DACUM identified the following emerging and retiring trends:
Emerging Trends: • Elearning
• Alternative Delivery modes Webct, streaming, facetoface delivery …
• Essential Skills
• Multiple Assessments: journals, checklists, rubrics…
• Problem, performance, and/or project based curriculum
• Increase interest from industry
• Laddering into Adult Teacher Education degree programs
Retiring trends: • One mode of delivery and evaluation
3. Graduate Skills and Abilities Chart (Appendix C) The Graduate Skills and Abilities Chart was developed during a faculty workshop facilitated by the Curriculum Consultant (See Appendix C for the completed chart). The outcome of this workshop was a single, composite chart that outlines the graduate skills and abilities. The chart is the crossreferencing of:
1. The competencies identified in the Industry Occupational Analysis (DACUM) Chart
2. The College Wide Learning Outcomes (CWLOs)
6
3. The teaching faculty’s assessment of what would constitute realistic learning expectations of the program.
This chart serves as the focus for curriculum renewal and the basis for the development of the Graduate Profile (i.e. learning outcomes at the program level)..
4. Graduate Profile (Appendix D) Through the use of the Graduate Skills and Abilities Chart, the Graduate Profile outcome statements were developed by the Curriculum Validation Facilitator and the Curriculum Consultant with faculty at a workshop on May 30, 2006. At the end of the program the graduate will successfully:
1. Communicate effectively and act professionally with students and colleagues in an adult education environment.
2. Collaborate professionally on a team respecting group dynamics. 3. Offers leadership when appropriate, and contribute to motivating students. 4. Create learning environments that recognizes and respects student’s
diversity, individual differences, and perspectives. 5. Plan a course using indicators of success including broad assessment, varied
instructional techniques, and alternative delivery models. 6. Plan and deliver lessons focusing on differentiated instructional strategies and
techniques that respond to the diverse learning styles and needs of learners. 7. Apply adult learning principles. 8. Use a variety of assessment techniques and analyzes their purpose, teaching
target, method, and quality indicators. 9. Adapt curriculum to address current trends and best practices in the adult
education field. 10.Create a safe learning environment.
5. Focus Groups Focus group sessions were held with existing students of the CAE Program at University College of the North (UCN) and Assiniboine Community College (ACC). The UCN focus group was held on May 29, 2006 with participants from The Pas, Thompson, Cross Lake, and Norway House Campuses linked by live interactive video. The ACC session was held at Brandon on June 8, 2006.
Focus group questions Participants at both sessions were asked to respond to the following questions:
1. Is the program meeting your needs in preparing you to address the challenges you face as an instructor?
7
2. In your opinion, are CAE courses offered in a timely way? 3. Can accessibility to CAE courses be improved if there were greater use of
alternative delivery systems? 4. Do you feel there is sufficient opportunity within the CAE Program to have
previous education and experience recognized for credit in the program? 5. Should an instructor who already possesses a Bachelor of Education Degree
be granted full credit in the CAE Program and issued a CAE Certificate? 6. Do you feel the CAE program has adequate management and coordination? 7. How could the CAE Program server you better?
Summary of focus group feedback Program related feedback
• More consistency in course quality o Publish learning outcomes for each course and adhere to them
in course delivery o Ensure instructors are qualified to teach in the course they are
teaching
• Less redundancy between courses
• More logical sequencing of courses in program delivery
• Incorporate a mentorship component into the program
• More use of alternative delivery methods such as online delivery, blended delivery, and PLAR. Provide multiple delivery options for all courses allowing students more choice as to how and when they can work on their courses.
• Have more courses where credits can be achieved through PLAR
• Ensure that all CAE instructors model good adult education principles when they teach CAE courses
• Provide a more transparent process for granting credits based on previous education and experience. Establish criteria and publish it so that potential students know what they can expect to be credited for. Move away from granting credit on an adhoc, casebycase basis.
• Need more portability between the CAE Certificate and other education programs
Administration related feedback
• Revisit the mandate of CAE as a condition of employment at institutions and validate its benefits to faculty, students being taught by CAE graduates, and the institutions as a whole.
8
• Allow students work time to take CAE courses similar to the current practice of allowing partial work time to work master’s level and other degree programs.
• Provide compensation to students who must travel to Winnipeg and find lodging to take CAE summer courses.
6. Program Renewal Plan (Appendix E) The program renewal plan is the result translating the preceding four deliverables into a coherent plan for the renewal of the program. For the CAE Curriculum Validation – Program Renewal, the program chair opted for a visioning workshop with faculty. Faculty met on May 30, 2006 to review the results and develop a vision statement as well as goals and objectives for program renewal. The following vision was created at the workshop: The Adult Teacher Education program at Red River College provides a current, learnercentered, comprehensive, and innovative program that enables our graduates to perform professionally and be successful in the field of adult teaching.
Goals and objectives established at the workshop included: 1. Review and redesign CAE program curriculum
Objectives: • Review all course offerings to eliminate overlap and duplication • Review all courses updating content, ensuring present day standards,
principles and best practices are reflected, and course quality is consistent throughout the program
• Expand and reconfigure course offerings providing an array of core and elective courses that will provide students more options to individualize their program of studies
• Integrate adult learning theory into all offerings • Expand course offerings, or increase emphasis within existing offerings,
on the topic of needs assessment • Expand course offerings, or increase emphasis within existing offerings,
on the use of learning technologies and online learning in the teaching and learning process
2. Develop distributed learning course delivery options
Objectives: • Develop elearning options for all courses • Increase the use of video streaming delivery to regional campuses, ACC
and UCN
9
3. Explore credential options and linkages
Objectives: • Articulate with other adult education programs to enhance portability of
CAE credits • Link to an Adult Education degree program • Explore the potential for development of an Applied Degree Program in
Adult Education
4. Establish an academic coordination role
Objectives: • Enhance administrative clarity for program development and coordination
of delivery at all centres • Seek resources to engage a fulltime coordinator for the CAE Program • Clarify faculty requirements for study with all stakeholders • Review timelimit allotted to students to complete the CAE Program and
update policy if necessary • Provide and encourage professional development for contract CAE
instructors • Explore a name change for the program as a means of enhancing its
perceived value to institutional faculty and other potential students
5. Position the program for expanded markets
Objectives: • Package and market the program to other (noncollege) clients • Develop and offer industry options within the program curriculum • Explore new linkages with industry • Target industry and organizational trainers, include a Train the Trainer
option • Seek out new international partners and expand international project
activity
Renewal Plan 1. Review and redesign CAE program curriculum
The Teacher Education department will use a curriculum mapping technique to review and redesign the CAE program curriculum.
This process should reveal course content overlap and duplication in course offerings. Another benefit of using the curriculum mapping software will be to ensure the graduate profile is being addressed in the course content. Once this process is complete, the information can be used to redesign the curriculum.
10
This process will begin in January 2007 with the parttime CAE coordinator taking responsibility to ensure all instructors are part of the process.
Course content changes will be implemented in the Fall of 2007 and will continue through to summer of 2008.
2. Develop distributed learning course delivery options
Development of elearning options for all courses is a costly investment. As all instructors are hired parttime to teach courses in the CAE program, there is a need to hire instructors for online course development. There are insufficient funds in the CAE budget to pursue this option without additional funding. This outcome will not be achieved without future funding.
Increased use of video streaming has already taken place with five courses in the offerings for the 2006/2007 academic year. With two courses offered through online delivery, the course offerings for the distant learner total seven.
Courses in the CAE program will be rotated through the eTV delivery mode to ensure all learners have the opportunity to complete their CAE in a timely fashion. This will take place each year.
3. Explore credential options and linkages
Spring 2007 – explore linkages with U. of W. for faculty that want to pursue further education.
Winter 2008 – explore other linkage opportunities with universities
4. Establish an academic coordination role
Spring 2007 Request a fulltime academic coordinator
5. Position the program for expanded markets.
Winter 2007 – develop modules for each course for use internally and externally
Spring 2007 – develop option course within the program on instructional technologies
Fall 2008 and on as money permits – develop online courses for use in expanded markets

7. 5Year Program Renewal Program in Gantt Chart Format (Appendix F)The final phase of the Adult Teacher Education Curriculum Validation – Program Renewal Project was the development of a 3 – 5 year Program Renewal Plan by the chair of the program in consultation with the Curriculum Consultant from the Program and Curriculum Development Department. The resulting renewal plan reflects the five renewal goals identified above and calls for specific activities to be undertaken between September 2006 and June 2010. The Program Renewal Plan (with timeframes) is attached to this report as Appendix F. This chart provides the program Chair with a planned process for program renewal and benchmarks against which renewal can be measured and tracked.
Conclusion The outcomes of the Curriculum Validation – Program Renewal process indicate that the Certificate in Adult Education Program is committed to continuous improvement measures in pursuit of quality assurance. The Curriculum Validation – Program Renewal process has provided the Chair, Advisory committee Members and faculty with a set of program renewal goals for the next five (5) year period that will continue the program’s commitment to quality assurance in curriculum and will ensure the Adult Teacher Education program is recognized as a leader in its field.

EVIRONMENTAL SCAN SUMMARY
Scope of the Study
The environmental scan of certificate and degree granting programs with focuses on adult education analyzed and compared four community colleges and four universities. The eight included two from British Columbia: University of Victoria, and Vancouver Community College, one form Alberta: Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, three for Ontario: Brock University, Georgian College, and University of Toronto, one from Nova Scotia: Nova Scotia community College, and one from New Brunswick: Holland College. A certificate in adult education or similar faculty development programs were the primary indicator for inclusion in the study.
The scan involved researching the education faculty web site at each university/college and one or more followup contact through either email or telephone to corroborate and add to the data collected. All responses were very cooperative and interested in the study. In fact, most were willing to share course resources and assist in our anticipated program development.

47
Appendix E – Program Renewal Plan
Renewal Plan 1. Review and redesign CAE program curriculum
The Teacher Education department will use a curriculum mapping technique to review and redesign the CAE program curriculum.
This process should reveal course content overlap and duplication in course offerings. Another benefit of using the curriculum mapping software will be to ensure the graduate profile is being addressed in the course content. Once this process is complete, the information can be used to redesign the curriculum.
This process will begin in November 2006 with the parttime CAE coordinator taking responsibility to ensure all instructors are part of the process.
Course content changes will be implemented in the Fall of 2007 and will continue through to summer of 2008.
2. Develop distributed learning course delivery options
Development of elearning options for all courses is a costly investment. As all instructors are hired parttime to teach courses in the CAE program, there is a need to hire instructors for online course development. There are insufficient funds in the CAE budget to pursue this option without additional funding. This outcome will not be achieved without future funding.
Increased use of video streaming has already taken place with five courses in the offerings for the 2006/2007 academic year. With two courses offered through online delivery, the course offerings for the distant learner total seven.
Courses in the CAE program will be rotated through the eTV delivery mode to ensure all learners have the opportunity to complete their CAE in a timely fashion. This will take place each year.
3. Explore credential options and linkages
Spring 2007 – explore linkages with U. of W. for faculty that want to pursue further education.
Winter 2008 – explore other linkage opportunities with universities
48
4. Establish an academic coordination role
Spring 2007 Request a fulltime academic coordinator
5. Position the program for expanded markets.
Winter 2007 – develop modules for each course for use internally and externally
Spring 2007 – develop option course within the program on instructional technologies
Fall 2008 and on as money permits – develop online courses for use in expanded markets
