'2i: Chief, TSS, reported that there are no
leads at all on an instructional development specialist. It
was agreed to assign action on the subject of course validity
to the Curriculum Committee.
2': Chief, PRS, reported that his Staff is
working on an E D briefing. During the discussion two
STATINTL additional suggestions were made and accepted: (1) all
people newly assigned to Mshould spend half a day in OTR
being briefed and meeting people to feel more a part. of OTR,
and (2) as many instructors as possible who are newly assigned
to OTR should take the Instructor Training Workshop when the
course is available.
2k: It was agreed that subitem (1) is an OTR
policy statement, subitem (2) should be considered as the
DTR's desire for all OTR personnel to be on the lookout for
potential DDO candidates, and on subitem (3) action has been
assumed by the CTP Staff. Chief, PRS, noted that a fourth
subitem should concern our need to look for generalists in
between the experienced officer and the CT. (See,15:August
1975 memorandum from DTR to Unit Chiefs, "Recruitment.of
Professional Personnel.")
STATI NTL
21: has the action on this study,
to be completed Ty 31 December 1975.
c. Agenda Item 3
noted that most of his concerns on
this matter had been covered during the earlier discussions.
He felt that the Committee could take on more things, such
as the validity of courses and any,proposed changes in
courses. It should operate as a structured body with the
present membership. It was agreed that, after the first
committee meeting this fall, the chairman would report to
the*DTR on the functions and plans of the Committee for the
rest of the year. Chief, PRS, noted that the first meeting
would be concerned with a comparison of the anticipated
student input to courses with OTR's capability in each
course,
d. Agenda Item 4
