The International Association for Public Participation is in a moment of historic and exciting change! Check each section below for links "closing the loop" on consultations over 2020; you can see how feedback has influenced the project at each step.
The Training Harmonisation project will provide a global curriculum for public participation. This will include entry level and more advanced learning opportunities for our more experienced professionals.
A key to our success is engagement with the IAP2 community. We’re hoping you’ll be with us every step of the way to offer your unique insights.
Following the development of the Draft Competencies Framework and the review of the existing courses and participant feedback, we have now developed the draft Learning Pathway. So, what is a ‘learning pathway’ and how does it relate to training courses? Review the draft Learning Pathway Consultation paper and watch the explanatory video clip to explain the material.
Please provide responses to the following questions:
What are the fundamental principles and assumptions that will guide the design of the integrated pathway? In order to build an outline of the integrated learning pathway and topics for curriculum we established some principles and assumptions:
A. The new curriculum builds on the best of the past and designs for the future of the practice
B. Knowledge, skills and abilities are developed progressively to equip professionals over time
C. Different learners (and the market) have different needs and motivations
D. Regions, learners, trainers and the market are supported with a variety of delivery options
E. Market and practice growth should not be constrained by a ‘5 days’ training model
F. Assessment of learning could be an option for those looking for a more formal certificate
G. Selecting an entry point and program of study empowers learners with choice and flexibility
H. A Recognition of Prior Learning framework would help participants to identify their entry point
3. Which of the principles resonate with you? Why?
4. Which of the principles do you have questions or concerns about? Why?
5. What would you change or add to the principles?
