Topic: Designing, Developing, and Implementing State-Level Emergency Management and Homeland Security Education and Training Programs: Standards, Curriculum, Content, and Professional Development
Description: The purpose of this panel presentation is to discuss “best practices” relating to the design, development, and implementation of Emergency Management and Homeland Security Education and Training programs and strategic framework throughout all levels of education (K–12 and post-secondary) at the State level. The panel will discuss the development of this “vertical-track” architecture design currently in progress in California and its implications for critical issues like building and facilitating collaborative linkages within the academic and professional EM-HS communities, accreditation and standards, model curriculum, enhancing professional experience and opportunities, and related issues. These important points speak to the direction and a view of the future of integrated and networked national and State Emergency Management and Homeland Security education and training programs.

(4) Job Searching in Emergency Management/Disciplinary and Signature Characteristics of Disaster and Emergency Management as a Field of Study

3:00–5:00 2nd Round of Thursday, June 7th Afternoon Breakout Sessions (Continued)
Topic: Job Searching in Emergency Management
Description: This study works to examine current trends in job searching within the Emergency Management field based on concerns over job availability and the value of formalized training and education within the field. Utilizing a basic content analysis on the available job data, the study will juxtapose the jobs available within the field and will work to surmise the implications this may have in the education and training of personnel; the posting of résumés; and the general expectations of professionalism within the field. The presentation of this study will allow for the open discussion of the value of certain types of programs and will provide a view of the skill sets and qualifications that students will require when they leave their institutions to begin their careers. In general, the study can also provide implications for résumé creation and job posting for all in the field.

Topic: Disciplinary and Signature Characteristics of Disaster and Emergency Management as a Field of Study
Description: This session will begin with a brief presentation describing the theoretical basis for disciplinary characteristics of teaching and the construct of signature pedagogies. Examples of the unique dimensions of pedagogy in other professionally oriented post-secondary programs (i.e., law, business, medicine) as well as in traditional disciplines will be provided. Participants will then be invited to explore what the disciplinary and signature characteristics of pedagogy in post-secondary disaster and Emergency Management programs “might be.” This session will be conducted as a focus group activity, which is part of a larger research study on the disciplinary characteristics of the use of case-based learning in post-secondary disaster management programs.  Participation in this session is voluntary, and those who choose to participate will be asked to sign consent forms. The results of this session will be shared with participants in a digital format once the data has been analyzed.

Topic: Utilizing Curriculum Outcomes to Develop, Evaluate, Enhance, and Validate Emergency Management Degree Programs
Description: This presentation will address how the “Curriculum Outcomes” document produced in 2011 under the auspices of the FEMA Higher Education Program can be utilized to develop new degree programs and evaluate, enhance, and validate existing degree programs. The presentation will illustrate the utility of the “Curriculum Outcomes” in deciding curriculum offerings, the hiring of faculty, course development, and program validation—internally and externally.

Topic: A Collaborative Programme in Capacity Development in Disaster Risk Reduction – Through African Universities
Description: Periperi U is a platform for university partnership to reduce disaster risks in Africa. It stands for “Partners Enhancing Resilience to People Exposed to Risks” – with a special focus on advancing university action on risk and vulnerability reduction in Africa through a consortium of 10 universities. In the past, international humanitarian assistance and appeals were viewed as the primary assistance mode for disaster-affected African countries and communities, and seldom engaged Africa’s institutions of higher learning. Unfortunately, these efforts also discouraged the development of basic risk-related education, training, and research capabilities at the tertiary level. This presentation shows the achievement in disaster risk reduction through Higher Education institutions in Africa.

Topic: The Future Starts Today. General Lessons from Scenario Foresight of the Emerging European Union Homeland Security System and the Comprehensive Approach – New Roles for Higher Education Research and Teaching
Description: The paper presents mid-term results of the European Union co-funded research project FOCUS (Foresight Security Scenarios: Mapping Research to a Comprehensive Approach to Exogenous EU Roles), placing them into a comprehensive context of future roles of Higher Education research and teaching in Homeland Security and Emergency Management. The European Union has now the legal power to “encourage cooperation between Member States in order to improve the effectiveness of systems for preventing and protecting against natural or man-made disasters.” This includes preparing civil-protection personnel, promoting effective operational cooperation between national civil-protection services, and promoting “consistency in international civil-protection work.” FOCUS has the mission to propose future tracks of civil security research and emergency management research in order to support a comprehensive approach to future European homeland security, including exchange and cooperation with key players beyond the EU.

Topic: “First Response” in the Educational Environment: An Immediate Learning Opportunity Following a Natural Disaster  
Description: Binghamton University was integral to the success of the initial response and longer term recovery following the disastrous flood that devastated the Binghamton area in September 2011. The Center for Civic Engagement took immediate action to coordinate the University’s response efforts, which included the development of a 6-week, 2-credit service-learning internship course. This presentation will provide an overview of the chronology of the disaster and the University’s response, as well as specifics on the process used to launch the course in such a timely fashion, institutional challenges, and factors that contributed to its success.
