Important Dates For Your Caldendar:

• Wednesday, 3 February 2010

From 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Richard Zerbe will be presenting a lecture on Assessment For Learning in Scarfe 100.  His presentation promises to be engaging and full of good ideas.  We will attend this presentation in lieu of our regularly scheduled EDUC 310 seminar.

• Monday, 8 February 2010

We are adjusting today’s schedule to accommodate a Q & A session on the EDUC 310 Interpretive Paper (Due: Monday, 1 March 2010).  Here’s the plan for the day:

– 10:00 am – 11:00 am = Lecture Presentations in Scarfe 1003

After the Lecture Presentations on this day, Jaime Beck, on behalf of PITA (Provincial Intermediate Teachers Association), will talk about some great support programs for early career teachers.  She will speak from 11:30 am – 11:50 am.  You can check out the PITA website for more details.  This session should help answer some questions about what post-B.Ed life might be like.
