LEAP COURSEWARE (CURRICULUM) RENEWAL PROJECT


PROGRESS REPORTING TO STAKEHOLDERS (to January 2012)
- A draft report called A Tie That Binds: Stakeholder Input and Directors for LEAP Renewal is pending final review and release in early 2012.
- A focused, purposeful literature search of the five year period (2007-2011) was completed in late 2011 and updated in January 2012, to update and consolidate evidence to be considered in the update of LEAP courseware, modules, and desired areas of additional development as informed by the consultation to-date.

 OPEN CONSULTATION RESULTS (ROUND ONE, 2011)
- Twenty-two (22) submissions received from individuals and groups/teams ranging from British Columbia to Newfoundland & Labrador. A preliminary and unedited [except for 'blinding'] version of the consolidated document is available for review here (.pdf, 538 KB)

 - A copy of the workshop package and working agenda for the 2011 LEAP Renewal Planning Workshop can be found here (.pdf, 238 KB). A 145 page written transcript and content analysis was prepared resulting from the key informant workshop and has been used with the Open Consultation results to inform the A Tie That Binds report.

Background
Between 2005 and December 31, 2010, The Pallium Project released some 525 LEAP Facilitator Kits. These have been in the full-colour binder format or the 2 disc CDR/DVD format. LEAP (version 1.0) was designed based on a set of assumptions negotiated among academic palliative health authorities and community-based champions from across western Canada. It was further refined in an August 2006 (version 1.1) minor update. LEAP (version 1.1) reflects evaluation information incorporated from 40 retreat weekend format as well as special purpose courses conducted in four Canadian provinces and 2 northern territories in 2005/06.

Since 2006, LEAP has been adopted broadly for use in varying settings-of-care and health science contexts across Canada's 13 provinces and territories and areas of federal service jurisdiction (e.g., First Nations & Inuit Health, etc.). A five year revision of the LEAP courseware in being undertaken starting in 2011. This project web provides information about participation opportunities and version 2.0 release information.
