David M Friscia 3/17/17 2:32 PM RE: Proposal No. 2017-6, 2017 Chapter 2.07 DEPARTMENTAL DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS An under-graduate's baccalaureate degree is the lowest qualifications framework in a profession's qualifications. If a Department Director hasn't obtained a Masters degree, they will not have attained exposure to their profession's current body of knowledge. Within the area studied, master's graduates are expected to possess advanced knowledge of a specialized body of theoretical and applied topics; high order skills in analysis, critical evaluation, or professional application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think rigorously and independently. The Bachelor's degree Education for various departments is entirely inadequate to meet the requirements Chapter 2.06 DEPARTMENTS AND ORGANIZATION. Without high-order skills, Pierce County will have low-order performance from its Department Directors.
