SPP-224 The State Partnership Program

The State Partnership Program for Practitioners Course is one of the most enduring courses at DSCU. This course is designed to combine asynchronous and synchronous learning environments to develop the Security Cooperation support the transfer of Security Cooperation knowledge. It consists of two weeks of self-paced online studies followed by one week of instructor-led class either on-line (virtual) or in-person at a DSCU campus. The course will use the Blackboard Learning Management System. The self-paced portion of the course will require approximately 6-8 hours of the students time over the course of the two weeks.  The second part of the course will be 5-day, instructor-led and it will leverage the knowledge gained in the asynchronous part of the course with classroom lectures, discussions, and collaboration as well as through group learning activities. The students will be required to refine, adapt and/or develop a multi-year plan for their partnership(s) and to plan and develop an SPP activity and present activity to the class for review and critique.
