Adapted from the Provincial Curriculum for Home SupportResident Care Attendant1992

The Mission of Kwantlen University College is We create quality lifelong learningopportunities for people to achieve personal social and career success The mandate ofKwantlen is to respond to the educational needs of the community it serves This expandedprogram will meet the needs of both potential students and clients

Identify the target student audiencesfor this program

This program is designed to attract individuals interested in caring for older people and peoplewith disabilities in their homes or in long term care facilities to allow them to function at theircapacity Individuals who may be working and require a certificate to expand their jobopportunities may also be attracted to this program

State how the institution satisfied itselfthat there is not unnecessary duplication in the systemThe existing RCA program at Kwantlen University College is widely respected and is the onlyPublic College program in this region Surrey Delta Langley White Rock Richmond There ishigh demand for the program with applicants often having to wait for admission through one ortwo programs

The program will consist of one full time 16 week term and one full time nine week term for atotal of 25 weeks There will be two intakes per year One intake of 27 students in Septemberwill complete the program in March and a second intake of 27 students in January will completethe program in June There will be a total of 54 graduates each academic year

Provide evidence of labour market demand

The changes in health care delivery with an increased emphasis on older people staying in theirhomes longer will result in an increased need for Home Support Workers Kwantlen UniversityCollege was approached in 2001 by Home Support Agencies in this region to develop a homesupport program as part of the existing Resident Care Attendant Program Graduates of the RCAprogram were hired by home supportaand they appreciated their skills but the agenciesalso wanted them to have some knowledge of and experience with the home care client and thehome setting

The current health care crisis and the increasing number of older adults in the population arerequiring a change in policy The key findings of Phase One of the Canadian Home Care HumanResources Study reported the following

Increased demand for home care services partly driven by an aging populationand individuals preferences to remain independent in the face of healthchallengesIncreased reliance on home care as a lower cost alternative for acute and longterm institutional care has increased both the demand for and complexity of homecare as more home care consumers are released from hospitals sicker andquicker than ever beforeFewer informal care givers and volunteers and greater demands on familiesdriven by changing fainily patterns lower fertility rates and mobility patterns tocare for persons requiring home care servicesNews Release Canadian HomeCare human Resources Study Feb 13 2002

BC Work Futures 2000 quotes Canadian Occupational Projection system COPS as projectingemployment for Home Support Workers as growing at an annual rate of21 faster than theaverage for all occupations which is 16 According to this projection6580 positions willbecome available from 1998 2008 A little over half of these openings will come from the needto replace workers who retire Persons who are both interested and suited for this kind of workshould have excellent job opportunitiesDemand of these workers will be particularly strong on Vancouver Island and in the OkanaganGreater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley This is because many people move to these regions toretire

There are two major factors that are responsible for the high projected growth in employment ofthese occupations First the growing aging population in BC will increase the demand for healthand personal care services Second governments are trying to contain health care costs byminimizing the time that patients spend in hospitals This will increase the reliance on home carefor patients of all ages BC Work Futures 2000Discussions have been held with Langley Home Support and Delta Home Representatives todiscuss future labour market projections Both these agencies expressed a preference for hiringgraduates of a recognized public post secondary institution They have expressed strong supportfor this program See attached letters in appendix B

Dear NancyThis letter is to confirm our strong support of your proposed Home Support Resident CareAttendant Program In recent years we have hired Resident Care Attendants to work in our fieldof home support and have found their training lacking in the areas of household managementnutrition and meal preparation palliative care managing dementia and difficult behaviours howto manage emergencies when an RN is not on site and charting and written communicationskills

Many of these areas were identified by the Provincial Curriculum Project conducted by FayeFerguson in 2001 and I am pleased to see that you are trying to incorporate her suggestions intoyour curriculum

Speaking for our agency 1 would like to assure you that we will be most interested in hiringyour students upon graduation as need arises and will be happy to provide practicumplacements for you

With the increasing age of our population and the current commitment to keep peoplein their homes as long as possible it appears that there will continue to be a demand for graduatesof this program In recent years the acuity of our clients is increasing andwe need well prepared staff to manage with these changes The government has also statedsupport for the concept of supportive housing and assisted living and both of these models willneed workers who have good critical thinking skills and strong clinical abilities at this level

Dear Dr Mott

1 would like to voice my support for your proposal to develop a Home Support Resident CareAttendant Program

As we move to support more individuals longer in their own homes and in assisted livingarrangements home support attendants will be dealing with clients with a greater complexity ofhealth needs

In the future many individuals who would have previously been in residential facilities will beable to live in a variety of community environments Interdisciplinary teams will be established tosupport these individuals with home support attendants being an integral part of the team It istherefore critical that individuals have appropriate training to meet skill requirements

The Fraser Health Authority Community Health Services very much supports the direction ofyour program proposal

I am writing in support of Kwantlen University Colleges intention to offer the HomeSupportResident Care Attendant Program I feel that this is a positive move and willbetter meet the needs of your students

As you know I am a member of an inter provincial group that has met and articulated theresident care attendant home support attendant and home supportresident care attendantprograms or their equivalents in the four western provinces It was evident when webegan the articulation process that students who completed a dual program ie theHSRCA Program were much better positioned to find employment in Alberta Manitobaand Saskatchewan than those with either the Home Support or Resident Care Attendantcertificates British Columbiasdual certificate is equivalent to likecertificates from all ofthese provinces This provided the impetus for VCC to move to offering a dual certificateprogram in 1998

Dear Nancy1 am writing this letter in support of the proposed integrated Horne SupportResident CareAide Program The lack of trained Home Support Workers is an ongoing problem forAgencies now caring for an increasing number of complex care clients In the past wehave had to hire Resident Care Aides who lack the knowledge and insight into the variedneeds of the elderly and chronically ill client living at home

As placement into facilities decreases and the aging population increases we will continueto see an increase in the acuity levels of our clients It is therefore essential that we havetrained staff who have the necessary skills w work in the home setting

Langley Horne Support Service would be more than willing to provide practicumplacements for students with the prospect of hiring them at the completion of theprogram

Please feel free to contact me if we can be of assistance to you in the future

The following are some of the highlights additional comments

Edward Lai Systems Administrator Aerolnfo Fcb 2 03 Quality of instructors is important Instructors mustupgrade their knowledge all the time have both indepth understanding and practical skills in the subjects

Ncelam Checknita Senior Software Engineer Aerolnfo Fcb 2 03 Both quality of instructors and students areimponant Students must be a logical thinker and are capable to apply logical pattern in problem solving

John Hallett and Ryan Ogg Development Mgrs WebCT Feb 21 03 The length of a high quality computerscience program must be 4 years The IT industry will not even considcr 2 year program grads for position in thefield The program must focus on the underlying concepts of the subject rather than spending time to train themusing different programming languages Dont neglect to train students how to apply learned knowledge

Winnie Cheung Senior Project Leader ACCPAC Feb 28 03 Quality of instructors is important Studentsmust learn how computer science concept and teclmiqucs are applied to solve simulated realworld problems inclass Students must take courses from business and other non computer areas to broaden their thinking whenapplying learned concept and techniques Also they need to be team players

Dr Vivo Kumar Professor SFU Fcb 2603 Kwantlensprogram must be unique in a way that it differentiatesits values from computer science programs offered by other institutions at BC Curriculum and instructionaldcsign should be represented in terms of concept network rather than objectives

Michael Chiu Project Manager Nokia Mar 1 03 Kwantlensposition is a community university It may focuson training students to pursue IT careers offered in BC Thus instructors must have enough practical experienceand indepth knowledge about the targeted subjects Students must be trained to be a team player but also beable to solve problems independently

2 Will the structure of the program allow for parttime evening weekend online mixedmode deliverymethods or a combination of any of these Identify each as appropriate Will the structure of theprogram allow for multiple entry and exit points Be specific use flow charts for clarity

Currently lowerdivision courses in the AA and diploma programs allow for parttime evening weekend and online delivery We envision the same options being available for upper division offerings when the program reachesmaturity During the early years it is unlikely that the number of sections available for upper division offeringswill allow the degree of flexibility found in our 2year programs Clearly parttime delivery will be available fromthe outset Courses will also be available in the evenings and during the summer semester

The program will allow multiple laddering and bridging opportunities See Appendix F Students entering theprogram can complete any portion of the first two years at no fewer than seven institutions within BritishColumbia Credit may also be granted for work experience through PLA Contingent upon KUC policy it may alsobe possible to enter the program for the final year alone Although it is likely that some qualifying courses wouldbe required in this case the flexible structure of the final year should allow most final year transfer students tocomplete within one calendar year

Graduates of the program will have a number of options as well see Appendix F

D Student Profile

1 Who are your target students age gender educational background work experience Where dothey come from recent high school graduates transfers from other institutions Are there othercharacteristics applicants should have that you identify as important

The program will target students from a variety of backgrounds The range of entry points into the program willallow great flexibility in the completion of lower division requirements making it accessible to students with a widerange of academic and employment backgrounds We anticipate that students from all of the seven institutionscurrently offering criminology diplomas will recognize some of the unique characteristics of the CommunityCriminal Justice program Persons already employed in public private and voluntary community agencies will seethe program management option as particularly relevant in advancing their carter

2 How will the program address equity by decreasing systemic barriers Is this type of programtraditionally or historically underrepresented in specific cohort groups eg gender andor ageimbalance First Nations How will the program address these issues

As an institution Kwantlen has historically provided unrivalled opportunities to under serviced communitiessouth of the Fraser River The recognition and support of our communities diversity is continuing to evolvewith the development of First Year Experience FYE programs supporting a range of groups including FirstNations As a department Criminology has contributed to these achievements A FYE course for criminologystudents is in development and our diploma and Associate of Arts programs provide opportunities to studentsfrom a wide range of backgrounds In particular North and South Asian students have been well representedAgain in general terms the increased emphasis on post secondary qualifications for police and correctionalagencies has arisen alongside the increased gender and ethnic diversity in these professions The proposeddegree would provide one more accessible route for citizens outside the traditional recruitment profile to attainthe requirements for entry to or advancement in their chosen career or for further academic studies

E Program Description

1 Provide a broad description of the program content

During the last three decades communitybased responses to crime have garnered widespread attention Policiesfocusing on the potential of communities to respond to crime conflict and exploitation have impacted policingdispute resolution and corrections This unique program studies crime and justice within the larger communitycontext Building on the existing two year criminology Associate degree and diploma at Kwantlen the corecurriculum includes third and fourth year courses that investigate the wide and varying ways in which thestructural cultural and institutional components of communities impact and are affected by crime anddelinquency The impact of these components on the policies and operations of law enforcement judicialcorrectional and non governmental agencies are also examined Emphasis is placed on knowledge and analyticalskills development and their application to community problem solving through interactive and participatorylearning within and beyond the classroom setting In addition to the recognized benefits of an undergraduateCriminology degree The Bachelor of Arts in Community Criminal Justice will provide students with a uniquefocus on issues and skills relevant to criminal justice practice in todayscommunities

2 Provide a list of the current Kwantlen courses the program maywill access in support of liberaleducation or as noncore support courses

Students entering the program with an Associate of Arts in Criminology will need one 3 or 4 yr LBED courseOthers must have 18 credits of LBED up to 6 of which might come from Criminology courses At presentLiberal education credits and candidates for noncore support courses may include any of the courses inAppendix E

3 Provide an outline of the modes of instruction to be employed Under each mode identify a broadoutline of instructional strategics to be employed

While traditional learning approaches will be utilized throughout the program the third and fourth years willincreasingly involve students in community agencies community issues and advocacy and communitybasedresearch both within and outside of the classroom setting Students will gain proficiency in using a variety ofresearch tools including computer based quantitative and qualitative research as well as basic conferencingskills In the final year students will work with community groups and agencies on a two semester project orpracticum under faculty supervision

4 How will the program ensure educational effectiveness cg retention rates completion rates successrates for employment or progression to further education

The program has specifically been developed to address emerging employment opportunities in criminal justiceand community service agencies in the private and non profit sectors As they move through the programstudents will have opportunities to apply their knowledge skills and techniques in realworld settings Kwantlenhas a number of resources that provide tangible assistance for students including Career and Academic Successcourses FYE courses and learning centres

5 Outline anticipated requirements for equipment specialized space etc

Shared general computer lab resources will be utilized The program will also require shared space for mediationand community meetings

6 Outline anticipated requirements for general space

One half matrix of classrooms distributed 40 in each of Fall and Spring and 20 in Summer

Revised 031903


7 Describe any other special features of the proposed programcg uniqueness of the program coopplacements work experience practicum clinical practice etc

The program will be unique in its focus on communitybased justice research and instruction Students willcomplete a twosemester project or practicum placement under the supervision of a faculty member It will alsoinclude a stream of study with recommended electives that will specifically prepare students for programmanagement positions within private and voluntary community agencies See appendix E This stream may alsobe useful for students interested in supervisory positions in larger public or private agencies

8 Explain how this program relates to the existing or proposed programs at Kwantlen UniversityCollege and other institutions

The program will draw upon existing expertise in a variety of disciplinary areas to fill elective requirements It isanticipated that students will draw from courses in business journalism philosophy political sciencepsychology sociology and likely a number of other disciplines We have had informal discussions with SteveDooley of the Sociology Dept and we see many synergies between their present and projected course offeringsand our proposed program Students will have a wide variety of choices for bridging and laddering with otherinstitutions offering criminology related degrees Our existing lower division courses will continue to allowstudents to achieve an Associate of Arts degree useful for transfer to related degree programs at Simon FraserUniversity University College of the Fraser Valley and Malaspina University College Similarly studentscompleting the first two or three years of related programs at any of these institutions along with the diplomaprograms at Douglas College and Camosun College should qualify for transfer to our proposed degree program

The BA in Community Criminal Justice will offer laddering options for the proposed twoyear paralegalprogram The developers have met with Pant Galea to discuss options In addition some students may beinterested in bridging to the proposed Bachelor of Applied Arts in Security Management

9 How will the program include Prior Learning Assessment PLA and modularization

PLA will be available consistent with existing policies

Each course will function as a nodule allowing students to proceed at their own pace While the cohort structurewill initially present some limitations two strategies should allow parttime students to efficiently complete thecourse First the program will be flexible with regard to pre requisites All but one of the 3 year courses willhave lowerdivision pre requirements Second at least two upper division courses in addition to theprojectpracticum course will be offered each summer

F Outcomes

1 What is the nature of the work or further education that students are being prepared forStudents will be prepared to work in a wide variety of traditional and emerging positions relating to crime andjustice Students will be uniquely prepared to work in and with the community and community organizations oncommunity research development and planning and to lead the community in developing and implementingresponses to crime and crime prevention They will be equipped to work with diverse groups to foster justicewithin and beside the existing legal system They will have a thorough understanding of community evaluationand accountability the significance of context and the multi dimensional aspects of problem solving in relationto crime and related social problems

Their positions will include program developer and coordinator community organizer communityadvocate volunteer manager social policy researcher consultant and program officer probation officerpolice officer and protection worker and corrections worker

Revised 031903


2 What other individual or societal benefits can be expected from offering the program or fromgraduates

Students will have a highly developed sense of citizenship and a broad multicultural perspective ondisenfranchisement marginalization and other causes of crime They will have an entrepreneurial and localapproach to developing well founded responses to crime They will promote the values of systematic ethicalresearch and consensus building

3 Include labour market data that shows a demand for this type of graduate

Criminal justice is generally considered a growth area Increasing populations populations of young peoplerapidly changing labour markets and greater densities will tend to produce increasing crime rates which in turnprovides incentive for both public and private funds being devoted to crime and justice See Appendix CMoreover the most consistent recommendation in all areas of criminal justice is the need to develop communitybased programs and solutions However there are few programs that offer a coherent program in the basicsnecessary for community building and program delivery

4 Will this program allow students to continue into further study or other educational programsDescribe Iaddering bridging or post credential continuation of education

This program will allow students to do graduate work It will be available to students who have completed thetwo year diploma and the proposed twoyear paralegal program to attain a degree in criminology

It is expected that the program will allow for entry into graduate programs in criminology particularly theMasters program at Simon Fraser University the proposed Applied MA at the University College of the FraserValley and programs in other provinces Other options for graduates include a range of preemploymentprograms offered by the JIBC in particular their Corrections and Community Justice Division Programs and theBachelor of Technology in Forensic Investigation offered by BCIT
