2. Relationship to mission and strategic plan of institution, and/or college and department goals and
objectives:
This course is related to the mission of the institution, college, and department goals and objectives, in that it assists
students develop their potential as community professionals and leaders. Though learning and facilitating, these future
professionals will gain knowledge to assist their personal growth while recognizing diversity within groups. The
recreation/leisure studies program has recently obtained additional faculty to increase the program array which has
been a long standing objective of the program. Moving these new courses from Special Studies format to traditional
curricular format is an objective for recreation/leisure studies at this time.
3. Rationale:
Leadership and facilitation are important skills for professionals in Health, Human Performance, and Recreation to
possess. Historically, students had the option to learn and practice these skills in the Recreation Programming and
Leadership course. The Recreation Programming and Leadership course content focused not only on leadership, but also
on programming (the process of organizing, designing, planning, scheduling, budgeting, marketing, implementing,
evaluating etc.) group recreation programs, and was integrated with the major as an option to fulfill requirements. The
course was developed at a time when enrollments averaged 20 students per class. With program growth and raised
enrollment caps, the course can no longer meet students’ learning needs in both content areas. Leadership and Facilitation
of Recreational Games will split the Leadership content from Recreation Programming and Leadership course, leaving
Recreation Programming and Leadership (Title being revised to Recreation Programming) to focus on the aspect of
programming. Recreation Programming will remain an option in the major to fulfill the “programming” area requirement.
Leadership and Facilitation of Recreational Games will be integrated with the Health Human Performance and Recreation
major as the only required recreation course in the major, alleviating the concern that students at this point in time could
possibly complete the major without taking a course in recreation. It has been offered as a Special Studies course over the
past two years to meet student needs, which has allowed for adjustments to be made that bring the course to the stage of
development appropriate for a regularly scheduled course in the major.
4. Cost Implications:
The department will adjust internally to meet any cost implications.
