Faculty development committee news

he Faculty Development Committee

met on Tuesday, October 27 and
evaluated 16 grant applications, most of
which requested the highest amount
available ($1,000). To accommodate all
those who qualified for funding, and to
retain enough funds for the spring
adjudication and the May PD days, the
Committee scaled back all grant
amounts by 10%. This means that, in
this adjudication, the highest amount
granted was $900, and other amounts
were pro-rated accordingly. Grants were
awarded to the following instructors:

note that, due to the limited availability
of funds, applications by the same
individual can be considered only once
every two years (i.e., if your last award
was spring 1997, you may apply again
in spring 1999).

The Committee will also be
distributing a questionnaire for faculty
feedback on the idea of holding
“brown bag sessions,” at which
Capilano College faculty could make
half-hour lunch-time presentations on
their PD activities. The same
questionnaire will also solicit your
opinions on workshops for the May
1999 PD Days. Please send in your
replies promptly — we would like to
make your ideas a reality!
