Support COKO’s Essential Competencies Review Project

The Essential Competencies of Practice for Kinesiologists in Ontario is a foundational document that informs and supports several critical functions of the College, including:

  • The Quality Assurance Program’s Self-Assessment, guiding members in reflecting on their practice and identifying opportunities for continuing professional development;
  • The performance indicators used in Peer and Practice Assessments to evaluate ongoing competence;
  • The development of practice standards and guidelines; and
  • The framework for evaluating public complaints and mandatory reports.

We are reviewing and updating the Essential Competencies to ensure they continue to reflect the evolving scope of kinesiology practice in Ontario. This process may lead to an expanded or refined list of competencies and updated performance indicators that clearly define the level of expected performance and how competencies are demonstrated in competent, ethical practice.

Participate the Competency & Item Writing Session

To help ensure that the Essential Competencies reflect the knowledge, skill, and judgment required for safe, effective, and ethical kinesiology practice, we are seeking 8–12 registered kinesiologists who have a minimum of three years of experience as a kinesiologist to participate in a competency and item writing session. The session will take place from August to September 2025. Participants will:

  • Review research findings gathered during the initial stage of this project;
  • Revise, update, or amend existing competencies and performance indicators; and
  • Propose new competencies or indicators where appropriate.

Compensation will be provided in accordance with COKO’s remuneration policies.

Complete the Item Writing Session Application Form

Please complete and submit the form before 5pm, July 25, 2025.
