9. Academic Guidance – AY12 General Guidance: Continue AY11 efforts that stabilize JSOU at MacDill AFB; increase value to USSOF, particularly to HQ, USSOCOM. Continue to engage the leadership and key staff to determine their academic needs; adjust or develop appropriate educational solutions to meet those needs. Continue to improve the initial modules of USEP, adding new modules as resources allow. Review those education-like courses and academic programs conducted by HQ USSOCOM -- transfer to JSOU for execution and sustainment. Implement new programs such as Joint Irregular/Unconventional Warfare courses for Intelligence officers, a Theater SOC professional development program, a Joint Civil Affairs Advanced Skills course and a joint planning module in USAJFKSWCS’s UW Operational Design Course (UWODC). As resources are provided, revamp and expand the functional support curricula, synchronizing their learning outcomes and course duration with USEP. Continue to advance the SOF Education Network; support all components by leveraging our in-place academic liaisons and configuring suitable classrooms with appropriate technological capabilities; routinely conduct classes and improve access to JSOU courses for component personnel. Extend the Staff Adjunct Faculty program to courses beyond USEP. Implement final design of Advanced Cultural Competency program. Finally, support to PME and International Engagement programs should remain at AY11 levels, except CGSC. Maintain the highest academic standards in faculty proficiency, program quality and innovative curriculum delivered through multiple methods consistent with the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training (ACCET) guidance and directives.
