2
Today’s Agenda Brief Overview Current Situation Planning Our Future Curriculum Framework Curriculum Development Challenges & Opportunities Collaborative Discussion
3
Overview MFRPs Standard 2 50 State Meetings Partnership for Food Protection Integrated Food Safety System o Training & Certification o IFPTI Curriculum Framework o Job Task Analysis FSMA Changes
4
What are we doing now? MFRPS Standard 2 – Training FDA Contract Requirements – Training Succession Planning – Training Existing Training Programs o Classroom o Webinar o Online
5
What are we doing now? New Training Program Methods o Developing Pilot with AFDO/MFRPA o Instructor Development Training o FDA Course Material o Train the Trainer o Add State Trainers to existing pool of instructors o Sustainability
6
What are we doing now? Training Need Surveys State Training Slot/Seat Allocation Communication Coordination
7
What are we doing now? Manufactured Food Training Preregistration Process – Launched in October 2014 – States received a course calendar and preregistration workbook – States requested seats in a specific course and submitted requests to Office of Partnership (OP) Objective ranking process for slot allocations – Determined to be very successful Nearly 600 seats successfully preregistered 43 state offices participated in the preregistration
8
What are we doing now? Benefits of Manufactured Food Preregistration – Allows state offices to make training plans for an entire year rather than on an ad hoc basis – Preference for dates and locations considered – No longer first come, first serve basis – Allows for a the establishment of a wait list for high demand courses
9
What are we doing now? Planning for increased funding for training through MFRPS cooperative agreement Benefits: – More flexibility in use of funds – Training can meet both food contract and MFRPS needs – No cost estimates spreadsheets or approval from OAGS required, resulting in reduced processing time – Established level of funding upfront – Carryover of funds possible – More cost and resource efficient
10
Partnership for Food Protection Goal: Provide input into the development of standard curricula and certification programs that will promote consistency and competency among the IFSS workforce. Available at: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/ForFederalStateandLocalOff icials/FoodSafetySystem/PartnershipforFoodProtectionPFP/ UCM423834.pdf http://www.fda.gov/downloads/ForFederalStateandLocalOff icials/FoodSafetySystem/PartnershipforFoodProtectionPFP/ UCM423834.pdf
11
Partnership for Food Protection Objective #1. Develop a pool of subject matter experts (SME) comprised of strategic partners to provide input to cultivate a competent workforce through training and certification Activity: SME provide input to identify core competencies through such tools as Job Task Analyses (JTA), needed for IFSS regulatory and public health partners Activity: SME provide input on national curriculum development Activity: SME provide input for determining what training courses satisfy curriculum requirements Activity: SME provide input to assist with developing the system and tools to support certification under an IFSS
12
Partnership for Food Protection Objective #2. Provide input on and disseminate the products coming out of 2015 Training Summit. Activity: Participate in 2015 Training Summit and provide input, identify gaps, identify connections, and help validate the work Activity: Disseminate resources developed out of the 2015 Training Summit Activity: Work with the Outreach Workgroup to better communicate training and certification resources available to strategic partners

CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK Planning our Future: Next Steps
14
Food and Feed Regulatory Curriculum Framework Source: http://www.ifpti.orghttp://www.ifpti.org
15
Current Curriculum Development Main Framework Feed Retail Dairy Produce Meat Manuf. Food 15
16
Curriculum Framework What is the Curriculum Framework? – First of it’s kind governmental food regulatory program curriculum development process Goal: develop curricula that encompasses and organizes existing professional development – Primary focus: food regulatory inspectors with intent of adapting to other positions in food protection » Food and Animal Feed Laboratory staff » Animal Feed regulatory inspection program
17
Curriculum Framework What is the Curriculum Framework? – Interrelationship between the various levels Content areas (topics or subjects) Professional Levels (entry, journey, technical and leadership) Professional Tracks (unprocessed, manufactured, retail) – International attention – Endorsed by PFP, AFDO, FDA
18
Curriculum Framework A platform/system to catalog/organize learning events Similar to a library Learning events are like the books with each categorized and in sections (content areas)
19
Curriculum Framework Benefits – Career path and professional development – Portability – Efficient use of resources – Road map/standards – Consistency in training – Integration & Collaboration – Preparation for Certification Exams – Focus on competency based training
20
Curriculum Framework We have built it. Are we done?
21
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT Planning our Future: Next Steps
22
Curriculum Development IFPTI Curriculum Framework: “back-mapping” curriculum development process FDA ORA Job and Task Analysis (JTA): “forward- mapping” for body of knowledge to drive competency and content creation
23
Curriculum Development Curriculum: – Purposely designed program of learning events intended to help achieve desired outcomes (acquire desired competencies). Learning events include: – Training; Education; Experience; Coaching; Mentoring; Networking; Workshop; Conference; Job Shadowing; Standardization; Performance Audit
24
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS 10) Placement in Curriculum 9) Quality Review 8) Development 7) Learning Event Design 6) Program Design 5) Content Area Subcompetencies 4) Content Area High Level Competencies 3) Curriculum Framework 2) Competency Framework 1) Identify Audience
25
Curriculum Development Means to organize required KSA (and learning events) by: – Content areas – Professional levels Entry, Journey, Technical, Leadership – Professional Tracks Unprocessed, manufactured, and retail – Specific programs/commodities (e.g. milk, feed)
26
Curriculum Development Develop national curriculum standards by which organizations develop training to meet identified competencies by: Identifying and analyzing quality learning events Establishing appropriate assessment criteria Monitoring and Improving learning process
27
Curriculum Development Step 4. Content Areas High Level Competencies Define the desired outcome for each content are for the level of the target audience Retail food inspector will be able to determine if retail food operations result in unadulterated products Step 5. Content Area Sub competencies Determine the KSA’s required to perform the content area objectives Retail food inspector KSAs: food prep processes; health risks
28
Curriculum Development Step 6. Program Design Requirements How do we get to the learning pathway? Sequence of learning events? Desired Outcomes? Step 7. Learning Event Design Designers, SMEs, Peer Reviewers produce deign documents (content material details)
29
Curriculum Development Step 8. Development Designers, SMES, Peer Reviewers design learning event materials based on design standards and supporting documents Step 9. Quality Review Content accurate and appropriate? Are materials accurate? Is instructional methodology accurate
30
Curriculum Development Step 10. Placement in Curriculum Does the learning event meet the course review process? Does it meet the desired outcomes for the target audience in the curriculum framework? Assign within the framework Provide appropriate learning path and learning event catalog Available for delivery
31
Curriculum Development What happens at the Delivery Process? Determine which modality – Instructor led – E-Learning – Blended learning Deliver Training Conduct Evaluation and Feedback
32
Curriculum Development What are the necessary steps for proper implementation? – Executive Committee Vision and Resources – Curriculum Guidance Committee Oversee curriculum development process – Curriculum teams Create content area and competencies – Development Groups Create materials to meet desired outcomes
33
Challenges and Opportunities FSMA Program Alliances Availability of resources, e.g., funding, staffing, travel Training to meet state and federal needs Leveraging training resources
34
Challenges and Opportunities Access to multiple Training Providers Managing Change and Transitions Recognition and Reciprocity Need for continued State participation in process Multiple programs/projects -> one goal
35
Collaborative Discussion
