The following global ideas guide the design and delivery of this course.
Course content will be guided by current research, empirical knowledge, and best practice. The following values and principles, consistent with professional standards, inform course content.
Investigating the therapeutic recreation field from an emerging professional’s perspective promotes discovery of roles, responsibilities, scope of practice, and standards of practice.
Exploring professional skills promotes an understanding of standards of conduct and ethical responsibilities of a TR practitioner.
Appreciating the disciplinary lens of other professionals and paraprofessionals help increase understandings of the systems TR professionals work within, leading to opportunities for inter-professional collaboration.
Understanding the key principles of a person-centred approach includes respect, communication, client participation in care, empowerment and continuity of care, and guides professional therapeutic recreation practice.
Demonstrating awareness and understanding of diversity including cultural consciousness and diverse worldviews is essential to promoting equity in TR practice.
Developing a growth mindset and resiliency strategies through self-reflective practice supports sustainable skills in professional practice.
In this course, students engage in a variety of learning activities such as lecture, discussion, group work, case studies, team-based exercises, and community experiences.
Assessment will be based on course objectives and will be carried out in accordance with the Douglas College Evaluation Policy. An evaluation schedule is presented at the beginning of the course. This is a graded course.
Typical means of evaluation would include a combination of:
Instructors may use a student’s record of attendance and/or level of active participation in a course as part of a student’s grade performance. Where this occurs, expectations and grade calculations regarding class attendance and participation will be clearly defined in the instructor’s course outline and allowed for in the course curriculum guideline.
This course may have an assignment that has been identified as part of the TR Department Research Framework and therefore the assignment must be passed at a minimum of a C (60%) level in order for a student to achieve a C (60%) final grade in the course. Each course outline will clearly identify these research framework assignments if relevant.
Students in the TR program, both diploma and degree students, are required to attain a minimum of 60% (C letter grade) in all courses utilized for credit towards a diploma and/or degree in Therapeutic Recreation in order to progress in the program.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
Describe standards of practice and ethical responsibilities in TR professional practice.
Discuss the role of inter-professional collaboration for the TR profession.
Discuss a strength-based, person-centred approach and its application to TR practice.
Describe the concept of cultural consciousness and diverse worldviews.
Create wellness and self-care strategies for sustainable professional practice.
