What are you requesting? Why is the request being made? Where was the need identified?
We are requesting to increase the hours worked by our Instructional Aide (currently 19 hours per week) to 40 hours per week.
Nineteen hours per week is sufficient to provide instructional support to two sections of AH-120. An additional 21 hours per week will allow the Instructional Aide to support two more section of AH-120, one section of AH-127 and one section of AH 121 per semester.
This need is identified in Program Review 2.2 and annual review.
Section I / Demonstrate how your request is supported by your Program Review/Annual Program Assessment:
This request is identified in the program review under 2.2 - Faculty. We have only one 19 hour Instructional Aide to support 100 EMS formerly Allied Health students per semester. Nineteen hours per week is not sufficient to support all EMS courses being offered at a potentially more successful level for the student.The new FTE Instructional Aide will share a portion of third party oversight during each semester by helping the students be more successful in mastering the following Student Learning Outcomes: psychomotor skills such as using a Bag-Valve-Mask, Traction splint, Oral Airway, Nasal Airway, Spinal Immobilization, and bleeding control. The Department Learning Outcomes affected would potentially see an increase in student course completion success.
Section I / Demonstrate how your request is supported by your Unit Plan and Division Plan (link to Unit/Division Plans 2011-2012)
Adding hours to the part-time Instructional Aide will make the position a FTE which would will assist in Goal #1 and Goal #3 by:
  1. Providing another consistent FTE to be available and flexible in with their time inassisting students with this new learning experience in medicine.
  2. The FTE Instructional Aide will help ensure students are engaged and can provide additional help in their learning experience.
  3. Supporting continued student academic growth requires more than one PT 19 hour Instructional Aide when you have approximately 160 students plus 30 in the refresher course. Additional consistent help and access to an FTE for students can assist in increasing the success rate of our students in this course.

Section I / Demonstrate how your request is supported by your CLO/DLO/PL0/AUO/SLO:
Adding hours to the part-time Instructional Aide is supported by our SLO’s as described in the following:
  1. SLO #2 – Improving the students’ critical thinking skills by allowing more time to work with the students outside of the classroom.
  2. SLO #4 & 6 – Further development of students’ patient assessments (medical and trauma) including determination of severity, medication/medical history recognition, and appropriate treatment plans.
  3. SLO #7 – Continuing the development of psychomotor skills providing additional tutoring including further demonstration, explanation, and increased opportunities for return demonstration by the students.
Adding hours to the part-time instructional aide is supported by our DLO’s as described in the following:
  1. DLO #1 – Emphasizing the students’ role as an EMT on scene of various types of incidents by using the prior experiences of the Instructional Aide on actual calls including interaction with patients, partners, other responding agencies, and hospital staff; as well as the leadership aspects of being an EMT including integrity, confidence, and delegation.
  2. DLO #3 – Developing further student understanding on the pathophysiology of hypoxia and shock by providing extra time for review and explanation.
  3. DLO#4 – Developing the students’ situational awareness of scene hazards using the prior experiences of the Instructional Aide in real world scenarios.

Section II / Describe how your request is aligned with one or more of the following Institutional Priorities: (link to SP)
Student Success
Increasing the number of hours the Instructional Aide works every week will allow for the increasing of Student Success by:
  1. Allowing theInstructional Aide to have additional office hours in order to provide further services to students. (Goal 1.1)
  2. Allowing theInstructional Aide to have additional office hours in order to tutor and mentor struggling students in both the didactic portion and the psychomotor portion of the class. (Goal 1.2)
  3. Allowing the Instructional Aide to have additional office hours in order to help students through initial requirements for the EMT program. (Goal 3.3)

Fiscally Sound Position:
Increasing the number of hours the Instructional Aide works every week will allow for the increasing of fiscal soundness by allowing the instructional Aide to work on additional grant applications i.e. Perkins.
Systematic Planning and Assessment:Decreasing the attrition rate in the EMT program is of paramount importance to our program. The key is to be able to accurately capture student data which accurately picks out the student who wants to become and EMT and work as an EMT versus the student using the EMT course as an elective or for some other purpose. By increasing the Instructional Aide’s time a powerful resource can be utilized in assisting with the important goal of coordinating/gathering and sorting the efforts of the staff in collecting usable data in program planning.
Section II / Institutional Pride and Organizational Culture:
Increasing the number of hours the Instructional Aide works every week will allow for the strengthening Institutional Pride and Organizational Culture by:
Allowing the Instructional Aide to expand on lecture material, providing additional information as well as different viewpoints on course material. Psychomotor skills can be demonstrated again and the students can receive additional coaching in the proper methodology and more hands on practice in conduction of particular skills, particularly patient assessments (medical and trauma). (Goal 9.3)
Community Partnerships and Service
Increasing the number of hours the Instructional Aide works every week will allow for the strengthening of community partnerships by:
  1. Allowing for better communications with contract hospitals and public agencies. Communications can take place during normal business hours reducing the delay in the successful resolution of problems as they arise. The Instructional Aide currently is only scheduled to work during class time in the evenings. This cannot be changed without the addition of more hours due to the in class workload that the Instructional Aide currently has. (Goal 10.6)
  2. Allowing for site visits to contract hospitals and public safety agencies. Site visits may be conducted to see the progress of students and ensure the quality of education and training on the students’ internships matches the classroom quality. (Goal 10.6)
  3. Allowing the Instructional Aide to meet with representatives from the contracted public safety agencies for the development and implantation of education plans including preceptor workshops. (Goal 10.6)
  4. Allowing theInstructional Aide to strengthen existing relationships with contracted hospitals and public safety agencies. The Instructional Aide will also have more time to work with existing staff members to pursue contracts with new facilities and agencies. (Goal 10.6)
  5. Fostering the existing relationships and cultivating new ones will allow the Instructional Aide to work with members of the local Emergency Medical system to assess the future needs and trends of this ever changing industry. This needs assessment will help the Instructional Aide and EMT faculty keep the MSJC EMT Program current and relevant to better prepare students for the area job market. (Goal 11.3)
