JIBC delivers justice and public safety education and training to more than 34,000 annually, including students in BC, across Canada, and abroad. The Provincial Government established JIBC in 1978 as a Provincial Institute with a primary mandate, outlined in the founding Order-In-Council, to provide instruction specifically for, but not limited to, police, corrections, courts and sheriffs and to identify the educational and specific training needs for all components of the British Columbia justice system, including fire services. The mandate also included the coordination of JIBC programs with the education system and community-based groups and the provision of a provincial forum for justice and socially-related issues. In 2006, the Ministry of Advanced Education urged JIBC to “adopt and implement” the following mandate: “The objects of the JIBC are to act as a justice and public safety institution for British Columbia by: (a) providing courses of instruction in justice and public safety; (b) providing courses of instruction at the baccalaureate and applied master’s degree levels, and (c) performing other functions as designated by the Minister.” JIBC Today The justice and public safety field has changed significantly since JIBC was created more than 30 years ago. The growing sophistication of crime and increasing scale of natural and humancaused disasters are among the complex challenges faced today by public safety professionals and those in leadership positions. JIBC is rigorously discharging our renewed mandate to prepare students for those challenges by offering a growing number of comprehensive programs that meet labour market needs and lead to academic credentials. JIBC programs respond to future labour market demand identified by municipal, provincial, federal and private sector employers, as well as the students themselves, and are built on a strong foundation of strategic and academic planning. JIBC’s educational philosophy is based on small learning environments with expert practitioners as faculty. Learners are guided through meaningful experiential and practical learning activities, rooted in theory and research, and contextually focused using enhanced learning technologies. Embedded in this philosophy of teaching is the notion that everyone has the potential to learn through exposure to new concepts, constructs and theories that move from simple to complex ideas. JIBC 2011/12 Institutional Accountability Plan & Report – July 2012 2 Thus, JIBC programs are characterized by a focus on:  Experiential learning that is situated in field practice, grounded in theory, and informed by current research;  Competency-based activities with measurable standards of performance, set within outcome-based programs that reflect expectations of performance in a field setting;  Extended learning that reaches beyond the classroom, using educational and communications technologies to bring education to the learner;  Practitioners as faculty in a unique instructional model with faculty drawn from justice and public safety professionals; and  Learning linked to employers and the community to ensure that programs are current, relevant, and focused on real world needs. JIBC’s learning environments are also diverse, bringing together students from different disciplines in core activities such as simulations. This interprofessional approach prepares students – in careers ranging from policing to paramedicine and counselling – for the interoperability that’s key to public safety professions. In 2000, JIBC became ISO 9001:2008 registered in recognition of its commitment to continuous quality improvement in education. The International Organization of Standardization (ISO) is the world’s largest developer and publisher of International Standards. It is a network of the national standards institutes of 162 countries. We are one of the few post-secondary educational institutions internationally whose programs and support services are registered to ISO standards, a commitment that is renewed annually. In addition, JIBC has a variety of accreditations with national and international bodies such as the Canadian Medical Association, the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress and the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications. These accreditations draw international clients from around the world. In recent years, JIBC has transitioned from a specialized training institution to a comprehensive post-secondary education institution that focuses both on training and on undergraduate and graduate education of justice, public and community safety professionals. Our curriculum is grounded in the latest research and theory. JIBC is uniquely positioned as a leader in conducting and supporting applied research in justice and public safety, which has led to enhanced curriculum, development of resources and evidence-based policy change. While face-to-face education in the classroom setting is still at the core of our delivery methods, the JIBC has greatly increased capacity for online and technology enhanced learning and teaching. In 2011, JIBC launched a Technology-Enabled Learning & Teaching (TELT) initiative to further build that capacity. The Institute now serves more than 8,000 online/distance education students annually, representing approximately 30% of our student contact hours. JIBC 2011/12 Institutional Accountability Plan & Report – July 2012 3 As another strategy to increase access for students, JIBC has an ongoing commitment to be an active partner in joint programs with other BC educational institutions, businesses, non-profit organizations and communities. Partnerships enable us to deliver programs and courses in approximately 170 BC communities each year. We also collaborate on programming with institutions in other provinces and internationally, and work together with clients in developing customized education solutions for their employees. Access for international students is also key to fulfilling our Vision and Mission as well as the Ministry’s objectives to attract and retain international students as well as ensure B.C. has an internationally recognized post-secondary education system. In February 2012, the JIBC adopted an Internationalization Strategy. The primary growth target of the internationalization strategy is to increase international FTEs to 5 percent of total student FTEs on an annual basis. This international education strategy outlines three phases:  Phase I: encompasses centralization of international activities under one office that will lead the Institute in the areas of governance, student support services, funding model and establishment of risk management processes;  Phase II: will focus on diversification of international activities, acquisition of new partners/markets, phase one internationalization of curriculum; and,  Phase III: begins with phase two internationalization of curriculum which includes faculty and employee development and evaluation of learning outcomes. Every day JIBC graduates in BC, throughout Canada and abroad make a difference. When there is an accident, a natural disaster, violence, or major conflicts, justice and public safety professionals educated at JIBC are there for people in need.

To continue to meet the needs of students and stakeholders, JIBC remains committed to a strategic plan that is rooted in a student-focused academic plan and aligned with the Government’s stated priorities of putting families first, creating jobs and building a strong economy. To achieve this, JIBC will find ways expand and develop our programs and services in a manner that builds a resilient infrastructure along with a sustainable business model for the Institute. We intend to continue to play a pivotal role in delivering training and education programs that ensure safe communities in BC and elsewhere. JIBC’s Academic Plan The purpose of JIBC’s Academic Plan is to expand upon the vision, mission, values, trends and strategic directions outlined in the Strategic Plan as they apply to our teaching and learning initiatives. There have been many important changes to the post-secondary education environments within which JIBC operates. JIBC has responded creatively to accommodate and take advantage of these changes with the expansion of academic credentials at the undergraduate and graduate levels and building applied research capacity across the Institute. Four thematic goals have been developed in relation to the JIBC Strategic Plan, the Ministry of Advanced Education Service Plan, and in response to an environmental scan that extends the Institute’s mission and vision to guide development of academic programming over the next three years: 1. JIBC will work toward increasing student access to programs regionally, provincially, nationally, and internationally 2. JIBC will expand academic programs to include both undergraduate and graduate studies 3. JIBC will focus on inter‐professional education programming that is flexible and responsive to future labour market needs 4. JIBC will focus on enhanced learning technology in all program areas To underpin these goals so the JIBC remains a leader in public and community safety education and training, the Institute also has to invest in faculty and curriculum development, student and JIBC 2011/12 Institutional Accountability Plan & Report – July 2012 6 library services, as well as facilitating knowledge translation, dissemination, and innovation through use of education technology. JIBC has demonstrated effective strategies to support the development of new knowledge, skills, competencies and attitudes related to educating public safety leaders of the future in the professions it serves at both the operational leadership level (undergraduate studies) and at the policy and strategic levels (graduate studies). Through the introduction of graduate certificates, JIBC is positioned to expand to new markets nationally and internationally. The Institute has invested in the creation of a centre – “Technology Enabled Learning & Teaching” (TELT) – which is the first phase leading the JIBC into the establishment of a Centre for Teaching and Learning Innovation. Currently TELT is comprised of employees who have expertise in web specialties, instructional design, faculty and student support and development, as well as simulations. This team of experts work with all schools in the design, development, implementation, evaluation, and change associated with curriculum based upon quality education standards, regulatory body requirements (entry level competencies), governments, and nationally accredited standards. JIBC is known as a leader in public and community safety training and education. Stakeholders who fund our programs expect JIBC to be on the cutting edge of technology that supports the professional practice of the professions we serve. For example, the use of education technology apps in all first responder courses and programs is an emerging theme in curriculum, and the JIBC has developed one in its Emergency Management program. Organizational Structure and Planning Model JIBC delivers programs within a framework of three schools, as well as the Office of Graduate Studies and supported by the Office of Applied Research. School of Community & Social Justice  Aboriginal Studies  Conflict Resolution   Counselling & Community Safety School of Public Safety and Security  Corrections & Community Justice  Court Administration  Driver & Traffic Education  Emergency Management  Fire  Police  Sheriff  Justice & Public Safety Leadership School of Health Sciences  Paramedicine  Professional Health Education  Continuing Medical Education JIBC 2011/12 Institutional Accountability Plan & Report – July 2012 7 In support of this academic alignment, our academic and administrative support divisions sought to improve service quality for our institution. This effort has resulted in several key functional areas (e.g., purchasing, information services) revamping their organizational structures, processes, and relationships to strengthen support services for internal clients as well as for external partners and suppliers. We recognize the quality of our internal service culture is a key lever for the quality of our primary goal – success for our students. Finally, as part of our ongoing focus on continuous quality improvement, we have adopted the integrated planning framework shown in Figure 1 below. The schematic portrays the core of JIBC’s planning environment along with the complementary plans and governance models that enable the achievement of our vision and mission. Figure 1: JIBC Integrated Planning Framework JIBC 2011/12 Institutional Accountability Plan & Report – July 2012 8 Key Trends that Inform JIBC Strategic Priorities JIBC has identified clusters of trends that will drive change for the Institute in the years ahead.

These “Local Operational Plans” (LOPs) are developed by the educational Schools, and the Academic and Administrative Support Divisions within the institution and thus constitute the specific activities undertaken to deliver results towards the JIBC’s strategic priorities (i.e., goals) and objectives. We are currently developing key performance indicators (KPIs) at the School and Divisional levels that will be tracked and reported using the Balanced Scorecard framework that is currently in use at the institutional level. Internally developed KPIs are used to measure, monitor and report institutional performance and progress toward achievement of the JIBC’s Strategic Plan and Academic Plan objectives. KPIs are designed to complement and align with AVED’s performance expectations.

Start dates for some of the one-time funded regionally delivered PCP program intakes were later than expected as a result of the requirement to provide a detailed budget for new program implementation and some challenges in securing clinical placements in the proposed regions. Later start dates in combination with the JIBC FTE counting methodology will result in reporting utilization of one time funded FTEs over 2011/12 and 2012/13 fiscal years rather than in the 2011/12 fiscal period. JIBC and AVED are working together to ensure reporting of paramedic program FTEs more closely corresponds to the standard post secondary reporting model. The ACP program was launched as a pilot in 2010/11 with a fuller implementation in 2011/12. As a result, there are a lower than normal number of students enrolled in year 2 of the program. 1 Results from the 2010/11 reporting year are based on data from the 2010/11 fiscal year; results from the 2011/12 reporting year are based on data from the 2011/12 fiscal year.

It is now easier to access, and staff involved in registering students have received additional training to ensure students are asked if they wish to self-identify as an Aboriginal person. 2 Annual performance is measured using a rolling three-year average of the most recent fiscal years, e.g., the results for the 2011/12 reporting year are a three-year average of the 2008/09, 2009/10 and 2010/11 fiscal years. The 2010/11 Actual was restated from 247, and the 2011/12 Target was restated from 242, to account for significant revisions to JIBC credentials data in the Fall 2011 Student Transition Project. 3 Results from the 2010/11 reporting year are based on data from the 2009/10 academic year; results from the 2011/12 reporting year are based on data from the 2010/11 academic year.

These ratings have shown a gradual positive trend over the past three years. However, even though the students sampled express overall satisfaction with their education at JIBC, high ratings of usefulness of their programs and usually had unemployment rates far below the provincial average, there is a pattern of these same students rating skill development components below the target measure. So, for student assessment of skill development, it remains unclear if the ministry’s target is appropriate for this particular population of students, or if students’ ratings in this area (as shown via the DASCO results) need to be more fully explored by the JIBC. 5 Results from the 2010/11 reporting year are based on 2010 survey data; results from the 2011/12 reporting year are based on 2011 survey data. For all survey results, if the result plus or minus the margin of error includes the target, the measure is assessed as achieved. In all cases, the survey result and the margin of error are used to determine the target assessment. Survey results are not assessed if the number of respondents is less than 20 or the confidence interval is 10% or greater. 6 Bachelor degree graduates performance measures N/A, so not assessed.
