Mission The Department of Integrated Studies in Education (DISE) will complete its sixth year in September 2007. The result of a merger between three former academic units (Educational Studies, Culture and Values in Education, Second Language Education) in September 2001, its mission statement (www.mcgill.ca/edu-integrated/mission/) is to improve the quality of schooling and other forms of education in Quebec, Canada, and internationally in partnership with local, provincial, and federal governments, as well as international agencies, NGOs, and the private sector. The long term aims of the Department remain unchanged. They are: 1. To serve its immediate academic and professional communities; 2. To educate effective teachers and leaders for educational organizations; 3. To engage in and develop scholarship in the areas of pedagogy, curriculum, literacy education, educational policy, international and cultural studies of education, and educational leadership; 4. To engage in policy research and consulting aimed at improving the reform of educational institutions and systems. DISE continues to strive to meet these aims through harnessing the professional expertise of faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students, and available resources to the creation of a culture of excellence in teaching, research and service to the Faculty, McGill and the broader academic community. As noted in the 2005-06 annual report, DISE is fully committed to articulating its efforts to the broader goals of the McGill Education Project (MEP), the Compact planning process associated with this, and the University’s White Paper, Strengths and Aspirations (November 2005). In doing so, the Department’s overall aim is to realise the overall goal of the MEP, which is to situate the Faculty of Education as a major international centre for the exploration of new forms of knowledge, teaching, and learning within the field of educational studies. The Department comprises five graduate programs (four M.A. and one Ph.D.) and six undergraduate programs (B.Ed.). It also continues to offer credit and non-credit courses through the Centre for Educational Leadership (CEL), Centre for the Study of Teaching 1 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007 and Writing (CSTW), and First Nations and Inuit Education programs (FNIE) to teachers, administrators and other professionals interested in upgrading/updating their knowledge, expertise and skills. Over 2006-07, student numbers (FTEs) in both undergraduate and graduate programs decreased slightly from 1232 (1258) and 297 (306) respectively. However, in line with guidelines expressed in the White paper, Strengths and Aspirations (2005), the Department aims to allow a gradual increase in graduate student numbers over the next five years until 2010. The Department cannot apply this principle to our undergraduate programs as student numbers are regulated by quotas imposed by the Ministère de l'Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport (MELS). Students graduating from DISE programs continue to follow career paths described in previous reports, including: teaching in schools and colleges; teaching and research in tertiary education; educational administration and leadership; evaluation research and consulting in both public and private sectors; and updating and enhancement of academic and professional skills and expertise. It should be noted that DISE graduates have gained employment at the local (Montreal), provincial (Quebec), national, and international (e.g., UNESCO) levels within their respective fields of expertise. Last year, this report noted a number of initiatives that had taken place within the Department. The most significant of these were: 1) the approval by the Conférence des recteurs et des principaux des universités du Québec (CREPUQ) in early 2006 of DISE’s new Ph.D. program; 2) the integration of the Office of First Nations and Inuit Education (OFNIE) with DISE; 3) submission of a proposal to the University for a joint B.A./ B.Ed. program with the Faculty of Arts. While the first two of these initiatives have been successfully implemented, the B.A./B.Ed. joint degree program has been suspended pending the outcome of discussions between the MELS, Faculty and Department on the possible launch of a Master of Arts in Teaching (see below). In addition to the above, there have been a

  • Grading System
    Pro. Jinal P. Patel / International Journal for Research in Vol. 3, Issue: 2, March-April 2014 Education (IJRE) ISSN: (P) 2347-5412 ISSN: (O) 2320-091X Grading System PROF. JINAL P. PATEL The Sandipani Shikshan Mahavidhyalaya, Ghatlodia, Ahmedabad Gujarat (India) Abstract: Grading in the realm of education is the process of applying standardized measurements of varying levels of comprehension within a subject area. Adoption of grading system in India, the grading system was introduced in 2008-09 from class I-VIII, reducing the exam stress. Extending the concept to class IX and X has further reduced the pressure, giving students an opportunity to explore other avenues. Following the US model, the implementation of the grading system is to bring in more practical education than the current theoretical method. This model prescribes a varied range of opportunities, providing children of all levels a platform to showcase their talent and pursue their interests traditionally; class XI students were given subjects as per marks scored in Class X. This system often disappointed students if they scored low. Moreover, if a student didn't get the required percentage due to poor scoring in one subject, then the entire percentage gets affected. The grading system will give students relief. It will provide ample opportunities to students to excel in their choice filed. The Indian education system has taken a step forward towards reviving the education system with the introduction of grading system in session 2009-10. It will help in reducing the pressure on students during exams. In the last five years the meaning of education has changed for students from imbibing knowledge to merely scoring marks, resulting in myriad forms of education policies.

Since first arriving in Montreal I have admired the excellent work of the United Irish Societies and have always been a supporter. When interviewed by the CBC as Grand Marshal in 2012 I said that the UIS reminded me of a beehive because everybody was so busy. Now as President I realise just how much work is being done by so many, all volunteers. The Executive Committee and all the members who volunteer put in countless hours of their personal time to make this organization function so well. This hard work, determination and commitment results in one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day Parades in the world. This provides a great experience for Montrealers and visitors alike.
