ACOTE SF, LA, TA Review of Curriculum Design and Mission

Hello everyone.

My name is bobby Griner and I am an OT

faculty member and chair of the curriculum committee as well

as part of the a coat accreditation self study project

group. The purpose of this short presentation is to help

prepare you for the upcoming echoed accreditation as it relates

to the mission statements of the school of pharmacy and

health professions and the occupational therapy department as well as

the curriculum design for the creating no tv program.

There is a worksheet that coincides with this video to

allow you to make notes as you listen.

The end goal is that you feel confident in your

ability to articulate the curriculum design and its relation to

the department and school mission statements.

Yeah. To begin, we'll take a look at the newly

revised curriculum model in order to conceptualize the OT curriculum

at Creighton.

A model comprised of three themes and two threads is

used. Themes are not addressed in courses sequentially but rather

they are nested so that content of each theme unfold

over the eight semesters or three years of the program.

Theme one is occupation and is the center of the

curriculum and its generative theory.

This theme focuses on the understanding of how human beings,

both personally and in the community experience occupation as a

unique self directed and adaptive individuals.

Occupation is what we do.

It is the unique modality used within our profession and

is central to create an O.

T. D.

Education. During the on site accreditation visit, you may be

asked to articulate how the theme of occupation is carried

out throughout the curriculum.

Please take a moment to pause the video if needed

and note how you have seen the theme of occupation

incorporated into classes you teach or in your role within

the department.

Being too is professional practice and focuses on the development

of and reflection on knowledge and skills for occupational therapy

practice students learn, explain and develop practice competencies through the

application of occupation.

The unique modality of occupational therapy.

Professional practice is how we do it.

These are the skills needed for our graduates to be

competent occupational therapists.

Please take a moment to reflect and make note of

how professional practice is integrated within the classes that you

teach or how you note this theme in relation to

your role in the O.

T. V.

Program. Some examples include skills related to evaluation, intervention planning

and designing occupation based interventions.

You can note practical terms, skills checkouts or service learning

experiences that assess students competency in the skills needed to

be an occupational therapist.

Theme three is professional identity and it focuses on the

students emerging identity as a competent.

Professional aspects of the development of this theme include the

knowledge, attitudes and skills pertinent to professionalism.

Professional identity is who we are.

Please take a moment to note how the professional practice

theme is integrated into the courses you teach or in

your role in the O.

T. V.

Program, for example, the requirement for students to schedule, plan

and leave consultation meetings with a community partner allows them

to practice and receive feedback on skills related to professional

communication etiquette.

Use of behavior citations are used to acknowledge both positive

and professional behaviors as well as provide an avenue to

help students be aware of and work on those undesired

professional behaviors.

The threads of the curriculum model can be thought of

as calling cards of earning an O.

T. D.

Degree from Creighton.

The two threads are leadership, indignation values, threat of leadership

derived from the theme.

Professional identity reinforces the development of doctoral lee prepared therapists

committed to serving societal needs.

This thread serves as a way to integrate the three

themes of the curriculum model.

This may take the form of opportunities to lead portions

of a project within a group assignment, being a class

or club officer or leading by example of positive professional

interactions with peers and faculty.

A thread of egg nation values, fosters therapists who embody

and enact justice values such as care for the whole

person, men and women for and with others, et cetera.

These values promote service to the underserved appreciation for diversity,

development of community and promotion of justice.

Please take a moment to note how you've seen leadership

and the ignition value threads integrated into the courses you

teach or in the roll you have in the department

as a reminder, connections to the themes and threads are

provided within each course syllabus.

These three themes and two threads are integrated into each

course and directly relate to the overall mission of the

I. T.

Department and the school of health, pharmacy and health professions

and creating university.

The worksheet provided also has the missions of the school

and department printed on them.

Please take a moment to read the mission statement of

the OT department and the school of Pharmacy and health

professions underline or circle or highlight keywords that stand out

to you as you read each mission statement that you

feel are key to earning a creating education.

Make note of where you have seen these keywords reflected

in the courses you teach or in your role in

the department.

For example the OT department mission states that the mission

is to educate reflected practitioners.

Reflection is a common course activity that we use to

help students learn from their successes and their mistakes.

Another portion of the I.

T. Department mission is offer occupational therapy expertise to local

and global communities.

This can take the form of service learning in the

community surrounding each respective campus or programs such as I

lack or international capstone experiences.

The mission of the school in pharmacy and health professions

includes a phrase ethical conduct, inter professional collaboration and service

to others.

This part of the mission can be noted in inter

professional education efforts within the school and university such as

the required courses for special faculty, teaching assistants and lab

assistants. CED 3 99 or c.

e. d 400.

It could also include the I.

P. Passport requirements of every student in the school of

pharmacy and health professions and in the I.

T. Department.

It could also be reflected in lectures on ethics or

case studies that challenge ethics in clinical decision making.

These are just a few examples of how you might

link your experiences with classes you teach or your role

in the department back to the school and OT department

missions that concludes this short video and I hope this

short exercise has provided you with the opportunity to review

the school and department mission statements and the occupational therapy

curriculum model and that you are more prepared and confident

in your ability to articulate links between the mission statements

and the curriculum design to the courses you teach or

as you note them in your role in the O.

T. Program.

Now remembering key points of the curriculum model, occupation is

what we do, professional practice is how we do it

and professional identity is who we are and the calling

cards of our Creighton education is threads of leadership indignation

values and all themes and threads are integrated into each

course in every semester.

Thank you so much for watching this short video and

thank you for being part of our creating family.
