David,<BR> Let’s be clear here that the caut committee
is not a committee run amok, out chasing rainbows on its own. We are acting at
the specific direction of the executive board of PTG. The impetus from the
board has its origin in the president, Dale Probst. He draws his inspiration
and direction from the Long Range Plan. The Long Range Plan was developed at
the direction of Council, and was adopted by
Council.<BR> IOW, we are doing what YOU (this being an
all-encompassing you meaning the entirety of PTG, acting through its
representative body) have asked us to do. (The Long Range Plan includes goals
of creating various skills testing and accreditation systems beyond RPT in
specialized areas of our profession, including specifically higher
education).<BR> Over the past several years, we (the
caut committee) have discussed notions having to do with credentials of one
sort or another, and have tossed around various specifics and worked to more
or less create a groundwork – this taking the form of creating a regular
curriculum for national and eventually regional conferences. We never
seriously considered anything this all-encompassing and ambitious.
<BR> This summer we were asked by the board to
undertake the task of coming up with a practical design for a caut
certification of some sort, and directed to include skills testing, written
testing, and curriculum components. We are doing so.
<BR> Speaking for myself, I have lots of other things
to do. I am doing them as well <G>.<BR>Regards,<BR>Fred
