Course Description:

'' Strategic Planning Practicum 1 is part of an integrated three-course sequence with Strategic Planning Practicum 2 and 3. The pedagogical approach in this course is problem-based instruction. The main principle underpinning problem-based instruction is that many of the most important lessons that students learn are those that they gain from experience; that is, those that they teach to themselves. This course stresses the importance of making decisions that position you to successfully respond to the challenges presented in this course and in your careers. You will see that is not ability alone that makes us or our organizations successful; it is the choices that we make.

This course uses case-based and problem-based approaches to teach the techniques of planning, decision-making, and analysis common to critical infrastructures. Student learning takes place in applying the knowledge and skills learned in the lesson commentaries of the course and the readings of these cases.
Real situations will be described in which an individual (or group) is faced with a decision that affects the public interest. As you analyze these cases, you will be both learning and applying the processes of strategic and contingency planning, problem solving and problem structuring, systems and policy analysis, and evaluation. In addition, this course will also include an introduction to several federal policies for dealing with disasters, including the National Response Plan or Framework, and the National Incident Management System. An important dimension of this kind of learning is that it hones creative thinking skills and can even improve leadership qualities in individual students. Case-based instruction seeks to advance wisdom rather than (or in addition to) just building knowledge and skills. The techniques you will learn will be applicable to all critical infrastructures and threats.
