BCCAT Theatre Articulation Meeting 2016 May 9, 2016 9:30Am – 3Pm Studio 58 Langara College, 100 W 49Th Avenue, Vancouver BCCAT Theatre Articulation Meeting 2016 May 9, 2016 9:30am – 3pm Studio 58 Langara College, 100 W 49th Avenue, Vancouver Chair: Kathryn Shaw, Studio 58 Langara. Secretary: David Hudgins, Studio 58 Langara. Present: Jenn Ohlhauser, ABCDE, John FitzGibbon, BCCAT, Stuart Aikins, Cap U, Matt Herrmann, Cap U, Meg Stainsby, Douglas College, Garwin Sanford, Langara Film Arts, Cole Lewis, SFU, David Hudgins, Studio 58, Bruce Kennedy, Studio 58, Sherri Sadler, Studio 58, Kathryn Shaw, Studio 58, Robin Nichol, TRU Theatre, Heidi Verwey, TRU Theatre, Kate Muchmore Woo, TWU SAMC Theatre, Hallie Marshall, UBC Vancouver, Denise Kenney, UBC Okanagan, Robert Gardiner, UBC Vancouver, Tom Scholte, UBC Vancouver, Bruce Kirkley, UFV, Fran Gebhard, UVIC, Leon Potter, VIU 1. Welcome and Introductions a. The committee met at 10:05 and the meeting was brought to order. b. The sign up sheet was distributed for contact information. 2. Approval of Agenda a. Minor changes were made to today’s agenda. 3. Approval of Previous Minutes The minutes from last year’s meeting were approved unanimously. 4. Review Purpose of Meeting The mandate was read aloud and approved unanimously. 5. Business from Last Year Task list from previous meeting: A. “Motion proposed, seconded, and passed to invite Film Faculty from Langara College, SFU, UBC, Capilano, and any other interested institutions to the Theatre Articulation Committee meeting in 2016.” a. Stuart reported that the idea had been brought forward to Capilano Film Dept. and they were too busy. UBC reported that those teaching the subject in their department didn’t see the point. b. Garwin Sandford, head of Film Arts at Langara, was the sole member of a film/tv department present. He gave an overview of the type of teaching they do, and pointed to the success of students that had gone on and the importance of them giving back to the department. He saw the importance of articulation in this field, that departments could feed into one another’s programs, and that as departments are being developed, instructors need to see this isn’t about antagonism or poaching other people’s curriculum. He inquired about whether it was provincially mandated. c. John weighed in on the policy: The legislation is that that if you create a program you are supposed to send someone to articulation. The murkiness comes from who will organize and there is no real way to police it. Garwin: Film schools are often protective in trying to get an upper hand in terms of advertisement and marketing. But people need to shift to think about the students and their experience. Already some dialogue between Langara and UFV. d. Some discussion about the potential for participation in the future. Cole said there is a new film department at SFU. Bruce said there were a number of film courses at UFV and thought it would be a great opportunity for the students who often want to move on to cohort style programs. Denise described Media Studies at UBCO. e. Stuart moved that the committee continue to invite the Film Programs from various institutions to the annual BCCAT Theatre Articulation Meeting in the hopes that they will form one on their own. Vote: all in favour, zero opposed. Motion carried. B. Update regarding Technical Theatre Programs: Any movement toward a combined degree program in Technical Theatre and Design, that would be offered by UBC, SFU? Robert: It has millimetred forward in that UBC has allowed for first year BFA admit, which makes such a program possible. As of 2017 this will allow for tranfer credits from college courses so they could ladder into a UBC Degree. Cole: SFU thinking about a pilot project related to a Technical Theatre and Design program. Motion carried to leave this item in for next meeting. C. Update regarding CAEA contracts at educational institutions: Kathryn Shaw reported: There was a study done by Equity, and you can indeed hire directors, etc. without penalty. Unfortunately the business members who work there don’t always know this. Language is currently that the director “May be hired by the institution on an Equity contract”, but be aware that you are not required to seek that permission. Fran reported that she asked a CAEA rep directly, and the final word was, you don’t need to talk to Equity, but they prefer it. However, she confirmed that if you are directing through your own institution, you do not need to report it to them. D. Movement forward with acquisition of student emails vs. Institution Regulations? Reported: A lot of departments struggle with the best way to communicate with their students, and have developed creative solutions to do so. E. Stuart: Cap U will report back next year on issues with allowing all their students to receive their English credits that are mandatory for completion. 6. Reports of External Representatives A. John FitzGibbon gave a spring update on behalf of the BCCAT. Please see attached REPORT for further information. a. The transfer awards were described and the nomination form was passed around to the group. b. COAP -- Report on Common Online Application Platform. John described innovations to the way in which students would apply in the future. Ministry is trying to consolidate its platforms into one system. Start with ED planner, and add on ApplyBC. Robert asked about international students. John agreed it could be problematic, because there are many current methods, but that the Ministry envisioned both domestic and international students having the same portal for admission. The expectation is that all will join. Robert asked what was behind this. John responded: The idea is better service for students… More automation. Students could choose up to 3 choices with more of a “one stop shopping” model. Institutions would see advantages of in terms of: 1) elecronic transcript exchange 2) transparency in terms of seeing provincial capacity and offer management. c. Continuation of report on Ministry of Education 10-12 Curriculum Revisions regarding drama in schools. MOE/Post-Secondary Advisory Committee / New Curriculum: BCCAT is represented on the advisory committee and attended a meeting with the Ministry on January 18th. Several of articulation committees are engaged in providing feedback to the Ministry on curriculum changes for their respective disciplines. Lots of changes are coming. Members were encouraged to check out the 10-12 curriculum that has been posted on the MOE website. Some concepts circulating: electronic portfolio, grade-less vision of public education. Literacy assessment to replace Grade 12 exam. The system has asked for a learning style that is more personal and more flexible. d. Associate Degree: The final report of the new Associate Degree Development Committee was approved by Council, forwarded to the DQAB and is awaiting review. Revisions to the current associate of Arts and Science framework are awaiting ministerial sign-off. It’s been there for a year, but hasn’t happened. There is hope for an Associate Degree within Specialized Studies which would be oriented toward professional or technical area-- potentially a good fit for theatre or film programs. Ministry is considering this right now. Stuart: Jazz degree took 10 years to get in place, as its relation to the the provincial jobs-creation blueprint appeared to delay it. e. John described Dual Credit whereby a student would receive credit at both secondary and post-secondary for taking one course. A number of institutions offer dual credit opportunities and there was a forum on the topic at Camosun in April. f. Transfer Innovations Projects: There are development funds available for working on a number of topics such as creating block transfers or identifying learning outcomes for the discipline. g. Publications: John gave an outline of the literature that is out there and circulated a number of publications, reporting that the content is driven by institutional issues. h. Student mobility. The Ministry is working on producing more accessible information. About 350,000 credits move every year. 17% of the student population will move across the province each year. They are hoping to track the data between institutions more effectively. i. SEE REPORT B. Jenna gave her ABCDE Report. a. Curriculum: K-9 Curriculum is already out there. 10-12 is still being developed by the Ministry. i. Pluses on new curriculum: lots of freedom. Curricular content based on teacher strength. More freedom for what teachers choose to teach. Aboriginal Education getting stronger, and is already integrated into the curriculum. 10-12 Environment Education is a good concept, however it is still unknown what the content would be. Theatre Company is now a course-- what used to be extracurricular is now completely graded. ii. Concerns: There are currently two courses: Drama 11 and Drama 12. ABCDE feedback has been a wish for more specialization such as: Directing, Acting, Writing. There is a concern that the core content of such a course isn’t specific enough in terms of practice, so that a student could argue they could learn from being an audience member, instead of doing it. ABCDE wants to make sure the institution of making theatre is maintained. New model: Could have courses that are more tailored by teacher creativity. Is there a way to incorporate interdisciplanary courses? b. Assessment: How will assessment go from secondary schools to higher education? Some unknowns still exist. They are considering the IB model, including the student online portfolio in the elementary school which has proven very popular with parents. In secondary school, university becomes of great importance, and hence quantifiable tests become important. There is a possibility that the Ministry will eventually settle for a hybrid from two systems of assessment. Hopefully not a binary system, but a way to draw from both.
