CECP Report Alan Barefield Mississippi State University Southern Rural Development Center
Definitions • Competencies • This is what you want the “student” to learn • Taxonomies • The lesson plan that allows you to teach the student and let him/her achieve the competency • Ideally, the competency should be identified first and then the taxonomy should be developed • We did it backwards for some of the topics
Where Do We Stand? • Taxonomies for several different areas have been developed • An abridged set of taxonomies to be used as search topics for the CECP campus is derived for the taxonomy areas • Draft competencies for 12 subject matter topics have been identified • A catalog of subject matter specialists has been begun
Overall Economic Development Business Skills (w/ E-commerce; these need to be combined) Tourism Leadership Development Civic Engagement Strategic Planning Community Data Analysis Public Issues Education Competencies
Where Do We Go From Here? • Flesh out the list of subject matter specialists • Review the draft competencies that have been identified • Identify competencies for other areas • Develop and expand taxonomies (lesson plans) for those areas • Create teams to begin work on CECP modules to deliver educational programs
Problems • Lack of response and participation • Lack of knowledge (on my part) about faculty qualified and willing to review developed curricula • No identification of potential team members • No identification of curriculum specialists, IT people, middle management person, etc. Should be overcome through CECP Steering Committee
Taxation Types of taxes identified, but what about the other issues associated with taxation and public revenues Community Services Electronic Infrastructure Emergency Preparedness Emergency Medical Svcs Healthcare Systems Housing Public Education Telecommunications Transportation Water and Waste Systems Two Examples
Where Do We Go From Here?Part II • Meeting with Rod Howe, Dick Senese, Janet Ayers on developing national core competencies • What does this group consider core competencies to be? • Review process for competency identification and taxonomy development
