>» COOPERATIVE LEARNING LEVEL I
FOUR-DAY INTENSIVE WORKSHOP
In response to some enthusiastic requests in the
survey to last year’s brief session, we are now
offering a full four-day session from May 15-18.
The first half day is a general, introductory session
for all interested faculty, and the remaining three and
a half days are for those who decide to make Coop
Learning their main activity of Faculty Development
Days this year, leading to Level I certification. The
Committee has hired a very experienced person, Bob
Aitken, Head of Program Development and Staff

>» INSTRUCTIONAL SKILLS WORKSHOP

In the week prior to Faculty Development Days, Paul
Carter of the Math Department and_ Jessie
Pendygrasse of BADM/Outdoor Rec are teaming up
to offer a co-facilitated ISW. (The purpose of ISWs

constructive feedback from a small group of Faculty
from all subject areas.) Enrolment will be on a first-

receive this issue of The Informer, and is quite
limited. Dates: Monday May 8th 1-3, Tuesday May

offer another ISW in August, so if you’re interested
in that, please let me know.)

Valley, on planning and adapting your instructional
