The Committee wishes to extend
congratulations to the award winners.

The total awards for the fall, 1997 amounted to
approximately $7,600.00. Please take this as a
gentle reminder to award recipients to submit
written reports to the Committee.

Several faculty members have asked about
having an opportunity to present “poster
sessions” outlining their successful PD
activities. It might be enlightening to learn -
about the various activities and events in which
our faculty participated. Inquiries and
interested volunteers would be gratefully
accepted for PD week in May.

The faculty survey results indicated that May is
likely the best time for the Instructional Skills
Workshop, so information for the ISW
workshops will be forthcoming.

Best wishes for a successful spring term, from
your FDC members: Ethelyn McInnes-Rankin,
Counselling, Joanne Ritchie, ESL, Chris
Gratham, Computer Tech., Jan Shiell, ARC.,
Mike Reveley, Music, Jean Clark, Applied
Business Tech, Jolene Bordewick, Disability
Services (Chair), Elizabeth Watkinson,
Committees Clerk.
