In 2022, the Standards of Practice Committee:
- Met with Educational Services Consulting (ESC) to review the emerging themes from the environmental scan and provide feedback on the stakeholder consultation process that was conducted for Phase 1 of the review of the Standards of Practice.
- Reviewed ESC’s progress reports for the stakeholder consultation and the updated work plan for the review of the Standards of Practice.
- Discussed the recommendations in the Stakeholder Consultation Report from Phase 1 of the review of the Standards of Practice and provided their comments to Council along with ESC’s final report. As part of Phase 2 of the project, staff made draft revisions to the Standards of Practice to reflect the recommendations from the Phase 1 report and the Standards of Practice Committee, and to address other issues identified by legal counsel and College staff.
