Hi All,
We had a wonderful community turnout at our first book club event. We have another book club discussion set for Thursday Nov. 14th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Staff Room at Point Grey Secondary School (5350 East Blvd). The focus of this book club discussion will be on gender, harassment and bullying in schools and classrooms.
Our speaker for the event is Dr. Elizabeth Meyers (California Polytechnical State University).
The format will be similar to our first book club meeting, where our speaker will set a context for the topic in relationship to our chosen book, The Absolute True Diary of a Part-time Indian. We will then break in to book club discussion groups to talk about themes of the book and the role of educators, parents, and community to address the issue. We will then conclude with our guest speaker who address strategies to support students.
Please join us even if you have not finished reading the book. There are opportunities for all to take part in discussions.
Look forward to seeing you there.

The SFU Vancouver Speaker Series returns on November 22, with “Climate Wars,” a lecture by Dr. Gwynne Dyer.
Moderated by Georgia Straight editor Charlie Smith, Climate Wars is based on Dyer’s book of the same name. Drawing on interviews with scientists, policy-makers, and military strategists, in a dozen different countries, it explores the grave geopolitical implications of large-scale (and probably rapid) climate change.
Dyer has worked as a freelance journalist, columnist, broadcaster, and lecturer on international affairs for more than 20 years, but was originally trained as a historian. With a Ph.D. in Military and Middle Eastern History from the University of London, Dyer served in three navies, while his first television series, the 7-part documentary ‘War,’ aired in 45 countries.
What: Climate Wars: Gwynne Dyer
When: November 22, 2013 – 7 pm
Where: Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema, Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, 149 West Hastings St.
Cost: $20, purchase online
The SFU Vancouver Speaker Series is supported by SFU’s Vancity Office of Community Engagement, SFU Public Square, SFU’s Centre for Dialogue, SFU’s Institute for the Humanities and Gen Why Media.

CATE Polygraph Series
Good Afternoon CATE Folks
In 2009 CATE started a book series dedicated to research and scholarship on teacher education within the Canadian context: “Canadian Research in Teacher Education: A Polygraph Series”. The Series has the purpose of supporting teacher education practices and research in teacher education in and across Canada.
1. The publications within the Series are themed books, creating a series that allows a focused contribution to the Canadian teacher education discourse and teacher education practice.
2. The books will be polygraphs (‘polygraph’ = many writings) rather than monographs, to allow a range of scholars to contribute to the same theme.
3. The series of volumes will be available in electronic form on the CATE website (https://sites.google.com/site/cssecate/home), allowing easy access and the quick publication of the respective Canadian scholarship in teacher education.
So far three volumes have been published, which can be downloaded from the following site: https://sites.google.com/site/cssecate/polygraph-book-series.
The CATE Executive invites you – possibly in collaboration with some of your colleagues – to consider a book publication in the CATE Polygraph Series within the area of your expertise as a teacher education scholar. The attached “Guidelines for Prospectus” document is to help you in the development of a prospectus for a book in the Series. For any preliminary inquiries, please feel free to contact me. Guidelines for Prospectus (June 2012)
Cheers

This award is called the “CATE Lifetime Achievement Award for Contributions to Research in Teacher Education”.
I have attached a document detailing the award, who is eligible, and what is involved in order to nominate someone for this award.
