However, it can also be challenging for instructors since experiences are unique to the individual and may or may not directly apply to course learning objectives. This presentation introduces a model for how instructors can use reflective learning in assessing student understanding of course objectives through their unique practitioner experiences.

These programs are defined here as the more traditional education programs of Emergency Management study hosted at 4-year institutions, leading to various types of degrees, taught by doctorate-holding, tenure-based faculty, with face-to-face classroom instruction, and a minimal reliance on online course offerings. Institutions with these types of programs will share their experiences and lessons learned in program development and implementation.

Programs have increased in number as have the number of students enrolled. But, where do we—as the higher education community—want to go from here? Where do we need to go? Are there things we want to pursue as a community to maximize the potential of our programs into the future? This session will address these questions through a facilitated discussion amongst those in attendance. 1:00–2:30 1st Round of Tuesday, June 5th Afternoon Breakout Sessions (Continued) The session will not feature any presentations; instead, the purpose of this forum is to allow individuals associated with higher education programs to both listen to and comment on what others envision for the future and what it will take to get there. Possible topics for discussion include ideas to make programs sustainable, visible, and valuable within their institutions; ideas for the future of curriculums and the emergency management body of knowledge; and ideas for overcoming challenges faced by programs, in addition to any other topics those in the audience would like to discuss. Moderator: Jessica Jensen, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Emergency Management North Dakota State University Fargo, ND
Capella University (3) Incorporating Cultural Competence into Emergency Management Programs Description: The disparities found in at-risk populations present an additional challenge for professionals and Emergency Managers relative to providing services that are culturally competent. Preparing students who are competent, culturally aware, and sensitive is critical for educational institutions that provide related degree options and programs. With consideration to social determinants, this presentation will demonstrate the value of cultural competency training. Moderator: Ali Gheith, CEM Director
