NETWORK BUZZ

NRPA's Online Community Forums Address
the Field of Education:
" What specific education area do you think needs more emphasis
in parks and recreation today? "
We need to put heaps more emphasis on education in Therapeutic Recreation-both in how we approach Inclusion Therapy and how we look at institutional Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy. We don't have people
going for their doctorates in this field, yet the generation I am in (60+) are
retiring and there are few new applicants for their positions.
-Esther Freeman, MS, CTRS, CPRP

Focusing on partnerships with schools in environmental/outdoor education
would be beneficial to parks and recreation professionals, including best
practices in engaging teachers and students in learning environmental concepts in an outdoor setting...a public park and/or waterway.
-Mark Young, NRPA Park Resources Network

I would like to see a class that teaches departments how to benchmark against
themselves (e.g., percentage increase or decrease from one year to the next
for areas, including participation, visitation, revenues, expenses, etc.) This
would allow effective presentations to tell the story of a specific community.
-Gina L. P.

REPLY:Are you familiar with NRPA's PRORAGIS database? NRPA is
collecting valuable information from departments nationwide about their
budgets, organization of personnel, programming, operations, and more.
Furthermore, PRORAGIS incorporates a reporting feature so that users can
evaluate how they compare to other participating departments. You can
find more information at www.nrpa.org/proragis. There is also a PRORAGIS group in Connect that you may consider joining. For more information:
email hjackson@nrpa.org.

NETWORK BUZZ appears monthly in Parks & Recreation. Questions are posed
to members of NRPA Connect, the interactive, social media section of the association's websitethat allows NRPA members to connect, collaborate, and communicate. For more information and to join one of the site's many groups, visit:
