Section l: Description of Unit A. Mission The Department of Integrated Studies in Education (DISE) will complete its sixth in 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 , , 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 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 (), 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 number of other developments within the Department over 2006-07. These are: • At the last meeting of Faculty Council (May 24), CRC Chair Dr. Joe Kincheloe and Dr. Shirley Steinberg announced the establishment of the Paulo and Nita

2 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

Freire International Project for Critical Pedagogy. This followed their successful grant application to the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) that secured $612,340 until July 31, 2010 to support the establishment of the Paulo and Nita Freire Research Project within the Faculty. • At the request of the MELS, discussions within DISE have been ongoing throughout 2006-07 concerning the establishment of a two-year MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) with certification at the secondary level. Planning and preparation for this had reached an advanced stage by May 2007 when, unfortunately, it was made clear to the Department that the MELS would only provide resources for an MAT in science and maths (to address the provincial shortage of teachers in these subjects). This decision by the MELS effectively halted further development of the MAT in DISE where a much broader program including other subject areas, as well as science and maths, had been created. Despite this setback, the Department has nevertheless continued to autonomously explore the possibility of developing an MAT that would embrace a broader spectrum of subjects within the secondary curriculum (see Undergraduate Director’s report: Appendix 8). While this degree would not be accredited by the MELS and, therefore, not offer Quebec teacher certification to students graduating from the program, the Department does believe that it would attract both out-of-province and international students who would be interested in a higher degree specializing in teacher preparation. It is likely that a decision concerning whether or not to ‘go it alone’ with the MAT on these grounds will be made before the end of 2007. • Discussions between the Director of ISERT (Dr. Michael Doxtater) and Associate Dean for Academic Programs (Dr. Cathrine Le Maistre) concerning a proposal for a Master of Arts Indigenous Studies in Education (MAISE) have made progress. Dr. Doxtater submitted a proposal for a MAISE (see Appendix 13) in the summer of 2007 for consideration by Associate Dean Le Maistre. This has been reviewed by Dr. Le Maistre and has been returned to Dr. Doxtater for revision. Subject to revision and further discussions by the Dean, Chair of DISE,

3 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

and other interested academic staff (e.g., members of the Faculty’s First Nations and Inuit Steering Committee), the MAISE will be submitted for approval to the University in the near future. • Negotiations concerning the development of a B.Ed (kindergarten/ elementary) program with a First Nations and Inuit option have now been successfully concluded between the Department/Faculty and FNIE partners (see Appendix 12). The proposal was submitted to McGill Senate and the MELS where it has been approved. The approval of this program by the MELS is of historic significance, as it confers general certification on aboriginal teachers, thus allowing them to teach beyond the borders of their own territories in other jurisdictions in Quebec and Canada. • The Department has also continued to explore the provision of on-line course delivery through WebCT. Following the successful pilot of Policy Issues in Quebec Education (EDEC 247), other courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels have been placed on-line. While not all of these are offered entirely through WebCT, there are several within the Department that now offer blended forms of delivery. Although the Department is committed to supporting the development and delivery of on-line courses through WebCT and other electronic media, it also recognises that the start-up costs, technical expertise and training, and human resources required represent a major challenge to expanding further provision in this area. In this regard the Department also recognises, however, that in certain instances forms of on-line provision are either not appropriate or practical given the professional nature of many of its courses. Last, attached as appendices are the reports of Directors of the two centres and programs that also comprise DISE. Please consult these for a detailed discussion of the activities of: • Graduate Program Co-Directors’ Report (Drs. Roy Lyster and Carolyn Turner (Appendix 9) • Centre for Educational Leadership (Dr. Lynn Butler-Kisber: Appendix 10) • Centre for the Study of Teaching and Writing (Dr. Anthony Paré: Appendix 11)

4 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

• First Nations and Inuit Education programs (Donna-Lee Smith: Appendix 12) • Indigenous Studies in Education, Research and Teaching (Dr. Michael Doxtater: Appendix 13). B. Objectives 2006-07 At its inception in September 2001 the Department reported 10 objectives that it aimed to realise by 2010-11. By 2005-06 at least three of these objectives had been successfully fulfilled, leaving the following seven objectives: 1. To continue strengthening the new Department; 2. To link the Department’s mission to the McGill Education Project; 3. To review and revise the newly approved teacher-education programs; 4. To improve links with the wider educational community; 5. To increase funding for graduate student support; 6. To increase scholarship and funded research; 7. To address problems related to full-time and part-time staff and student/teacher ratios. As noted in the 2005-06 report, objective 1 has become somewhat redundant given that the Department is now in its sixth year of existence and has established a stable, collegial culture that has drawn on and integrated the strengths of the former departments (Educational Studies, Culture and Values in Education, and Second Language Education). Linking the Department’s aims and objectives with the principal goals of the McGill Education Project (MEP) and the Compact process has continued to be a key strategic objective in the Department’s planning process (objective 2). While there are different mechanisms through which this is accomplished, the Faculty’s Administration Group (chaired by the Dean) provides the principal forum for the determination of policy in this respect. DISE’s six B.Ed programs were reviewed and accredited in 2006 by the Comité d'agrément des programmes de formation à l'enseignement (CAPFE) for a further three years until 2009 (objective 3). Although securing CAPFE accreditation for the existing B.Ed. program was of critical importance, over the past year the Department has embarked on a major re-evaluation of how these programs are designed and delivered. Two pilot initiatives in particular, one undertaken by Dr. David Dillon and the other by

5 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

Dr. Caroline Riches, Fiona Benson, and Dr. Ann Beer, are currently being considered as possible designs for the future delivery of the Department’s B.Ed. programs (see undergraduate program director’s report: Appendix 8). After discussions with the Dean in April 2007, it was decided to enlarge the operation of both these pilots and to initiate Department wide discussions on their suitability for the development of B.Ed. programming over the coming years. To this end, Drs. Benson, Dillon and Riches gave a seminar on their pilots at the last Departmental meeting in May 2007 on how their school-based models of teacher preparation could be expanded and used as an organisational platform to replace the existing framework for the B.Ed. Further discussions concerning the feasibility of introducing these pilots on a larger scale will be continued in the fall/ by the undergraduate curriculum committee (UCC) and at Departmental meetings. Objective 4 continues to be a defining element of the Department’s mission. Collaboration and cooperation with a range of community-based organizations, the MELS, school boards, other universities, research institutes, NGOs and international organizations continue to be pursued by Department members (see Appendix 7). Generating greater opportunities for graduate funding continues to be a major concern for the Department, as it is for the University (objective 5). It is still the case that the Department offers only two minor and one major scholarship on an annual basis generated by endowments from benefactors. Nevertheless, as in previous years, the Department continues to encourage and support graduate students in applying for, and securing, fellowships from McGill (majors), federal (SSHRC, CIDA, etc.) and provincial (FQRSC) agencies. Overall, funding from these sources increased slightly from the 2005- 06 total ($798,937) to $917,470 for 2006-07. However, it should be noted that other sources of financial support are offered through McGill International Doctoral Awards or (MIDAS), teaching and research assistantships (TAs and RAs), and occasionally, sessional teaching. It also remains the case that a relatively large proportion (approximately 40%) of DISE graduate students do not require fully-funded status as they have full-time employment as teachers, administrators and other educational professionals. Faculty funding for 2006-07 has also increased from its 2005-06 figure (objective 6). Grants on which Department members are listed as Principal Investigators

6 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

(PI) for 2006-07 amounted to $1,738,672 an increase of 7.48% from the 2005-06 figure ($1,608,684). It should be noted that many of these grants have allocations for graduate students as RAs or TAs, thus incidentally increasing the overall level of funding available to support graduate students within the Department. Last, as a matter of policy the Department continues to strive to reduce its reliance on part-time/sessional staff in an attempt to reduce its annual deficit. However, it must be understood that many of the part-time/sessional staff employed are experienced practitioners with many years experience in the Montreal/Quebec school system whose knowledge and expertise, particularly of recent educational reforms such as the QEP, are indispensable to maintaining both quality and relevance within our undergraduate programs. At the graduate level, the Department is increasingly finding it difficult to recruit sessional lecturers to teach graduate courses due to the University’s requirement that they have a Ph.D., but can only be paid the maximum $5,000 stipend when, for example, universities such as Concordia pay $8,000 per course. Additionally, it should also be noted that with recent pay raises awarded to the TA union (AGSEM) through their collective agreement with the University, that TAs earnings approximate the $5,000 stipend paid to course lecturers whose qualifications and experience are often far superior (objective 7). Overall, therefore, while progress across these seven objectives has been uneven, DISE has nevertheless continued to develop strong foundations for its future development as an academic unit within the Faculty and University. In last year’s report it was also noted that the Department would focus on realizing six specific goals set for 2006-07. These were: 1. Implement recommendations arising from CAPFE review of undergraduate programs. 2. Secure University approval for launch of joint B.A./B.Ed. for Fall 2007. 3. Prepare for CREPUQ review of M.A. programs in Fall 2007. 4. Implement Ph.D. in Educational Studies, September 2007. 5. To actively engage in discussions with the MELS and other Quebec universities concerning the design and delivery of a mandated Master’s degree in teaching and learning (with Quebec certification).

7 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

6. Continue with development of a new M.A. program in Indigenous Governance. Over 2006-07, goals 1, 3, 4, and 6 were successfully implemented. As noted above, goal 2 was suspended until negotiations with the MELS concerning the MAT have been settled. As also explained earlier, while a considerable amount of development work has been accomplished on the MAT by members of DISE, its implementation has been stalled pending further discussions with the MELS (goal 5). Last, with the submission of a proposal for a MAISE by Dr. Doxtater (May 2007), the Department is now one step closer to realizing goal 6. Consequently, it is hoped that with further discussion and development, goals 5 and 6 will be realized over the coming year.

Section II: Departmental Activities 2006-07 A. Teaching and Learning 1. Achievements and Innovations DISE realized a number of achievements over 2006-07. The most significant of these are as follows: • Gained approval from MELS for its Ph.D. in Educational Studies which will be launched in September 2007. • Initiated planning and development for an M.A. in Indigenous Studies Education, or ‘MAISE.’ • Secured accreditation of its undergraduate BFNIE (general certification) from the MELS. • Secured approval from Senate to launch a joint B.A./B.Ed. degree. • Increased the success rate of Department members securing major research grants from granting agencies such as SSHRC, FQRSC, CIDA, etc. • Increased graduate student funding. • Continued to establish a clear and distinctive ‘integrated’ identity and ethos. • Continued to articulate its decision-making and planning with the MEP/ Compact process of the Faculty of Education.

8 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

2. Cooperation with other teaching units A tradition of cooperation and collaboration with other teaching units within the Faculty, across the University and with other institutions of higher learning has characterized the Department’s activities since its inception in September 2001. This is exemplified in four primary ways: • DISE students continue to participate in programs in other Faculties, particularly Arts, Science, and Music where the Department either requires students to take courses in programs offered by these Faculties or has established joint degree programs with them (e.g., B.Sc./B.Ed.). • Alternately, students from other Faculties (and Universities through IUTs) continue to register in DISE programs, or take individual courses. • Professors in DISE are either cross-appointed or teach in other academic units (e.g., Arts, Medicine, Music, Religious Studies, and Science). • DISE regularly draws on the knowledge and expertise of professors in other academic units to act as advisors in conducting job searches for new hires, curriculum planning (in areas such as science, math and music) and collaborative research ventures. Cooperation and collaboration with academic units outside the University continues to grow as evidenced in the following: • Joint research ventures with other universities provincially, across Canada, and internationally (see Appendix 7). • The continuation of a joint FSL undergraduate program with the Université de Montréal. • Discussions with representatives from the MELS, and Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) on devising a strategy for lifelong learning within the post-secondary Anglophone sector. • Discussions with the MELS and other Quebec universities concerning the creation of a Master’s in teaching (MAT). 3. Accreditation Accreditation was received for the following programs over 2006-07:

9 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

• Bachelor of First Nations and Inuit Education option (BFNIE) was approved by the MELS. • Graduate Certificate in TESL • As noted earlier, initial talks with the MELS concerning an MAT for Fall 2007 have now been suspended until further notice. However, it is hoped that this might be secured over 2007-08. 4. Graduate Programs For a detailed analysis of developments in the Department’s graduate programs see Appendix 9. However, the highlights for 2006-07 as reported by the graduate program co-directors were: • The MA concentration in Educational Studies was removed from the Leadership and Curriculum programs. • MA programs in Culture and Values, Leadership and Curriculum within the non- thesis option will allow students to complete their respective programs by course work (i.e. courses only), or course work plus projects (6- or 12-credit projects). • A TESL Graduate Certificate program (15 credits) received approval from Senate and will begin in Fall 2007. • The Ph.D. in Educational Studies received final MELS approval and will commence in Fall 2007. Dr. Paré and Dr. Strong-Wilson will teach the inaugural session of the Ph.D. Colloquium for 2007-08. 5. In-service support activities The Department continues to view in-service support as central to its academic and professional activities. It does this in the following ways: • Providing support, mentoring and advice to tenure-track faculty. • The Department continues to provide mentors (senior staff) for new and incoming faculty to provide support and advice on teaching, administration, research and tenure. • In conjunction with the Faculty, the Department provides an orientation session and handbook to new sessional staff.

10 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

• Both full-time and part-time staff members are encouraged to participate in in- service training provided by service units (e.g., TLS) within the University. • Ancillary and support staff members are encouraged to attend training workshops offered by Human Resources and other support units to enhance their administrative efficiency and performance. • Last, the Department regularly has presentations and discussions from experts in the field concerning topical issues at its monthly Departmental meetings. For example, Dr. Cynthia Weston was invited to the March 2007 meeting to discuss problems and issues in the use of McGill’s new Mercury on-line evaluation system. 6. Administrative structures supporting teaching and learning Over 2006-07 the Department has continued to use three standing committees to support teaching and learning within its undergraduate and graduate programs. These are: • DISE Steering Committee • Graduate Programs Committee (GPC) • Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (UCC) In addition to these committees, the Department has four Directors and two Associate Directors to oversee and manage the operations of the Centre for Educational Leadership (Dr. Butler-Kisber); Centre for the Study and Teaching of Writing (Dr. Paré); First Nations and Inuit Education (D.L. Smith); and Indigenous research (Dr. Doxtater). 7. Technology support The Faculty of Education provides technology support to its three departments (DISE, ECP, KPE) and School (SIS) through the Educational Media Services (EMS), and three computer laboratories, all of which are widely used by students from DISE. This infrastructure, as well as that provided by the University through, for example, the continuation of its laptop computer program, has enhanced the capacity of Department members to adopt new technologies in the classroom for the purposes of teaching and learning. • Because of the high administrative costs involved with on-line/distance education, the Department has continued to be cautious in launching new

11 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

initiatives in on-line or ‘blended’ approaches to learning. However, where there is a clear rationale for doing so, and where it can be done using a cost-recovery approach, the Department has made commitments to supporting such initiatives. At present, the Department offers three undergraduate courses on-line (see Undergraduate Program Director report: Appendix 8). While only one graduate course has been offered entirely on-line (EDEM 646: Planning and Evaluation), it is apparent that most members of the Department who teach in graduate programs use WebCT extensively in their design and delivery. • In addition to Departmental seminars on ICT, DISE members were encouraged to attend training and support seminars offered through the University to support the transition to WebCT Vista. • Dr. Starke-Meyerring’s mobile laptop laboratory for CSTW students is now in its third year and continues to be a major initiative in contributing to the paperless classroom. Until his retirement in August 2007, Dr. Riggs continues to be the Department’s webpage manager. The Department wishes to acknowledge its deep appreciation of Dr. Riggs’s contributions to service in this area, which have been central to ensuring that it has maintained a professionally relevant website for faculty, students and staff within the Faculty. Dr. Doreen Starke-Meyerring has agreed to assume Dr. Riggs’s responsibilities for the Department over the coming years. 8. Graduate student achievements DISE has approximately 300 students registered in its graduate programs. Around 100 of these are registered in the ad hoc Ph.D. program and new Ph.D. program of record, and a further 200 in one of four Master’s programs (Culture and Values, Curriculum, Leadership, and Second Language Education). As noted in earlier reports of the Department (e.g. 2004-05, 2005-06), the likely career trajectory of these students will be in higher education, government (provincial and federal), international organizations (e.g., UNESCO), NGOs and private sector consulting. A list of all graduates from the M.A. and Ph.D. programs can be found in Appendix 9. Particular mention must be made of the following students for their outstanding achievements over 2006-07:

12 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

• Dr. Natalia (Natasha) Artemeva: Outstanding Dissertation Award, Conference on College Composition and Communication • Dr. Catherine Beauchamp: Robert J. Menges New Researcher Award (American Educational Research Association) • Dr. Linda Furlini: L’Oréal Canada for women in science research excellence fellowship (with the support of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO) Because of the limited resources available through the Department, DISE students have been very active in applying for and securing grants from a broad range of agencies at the provincial, national and international levels. Funding for 2006-07 was $917,470, an increase of almost $118,533 over the previous year. The Education Graduate Students’ Society (EGSS) held their sixth annual conference in March of 2007, ‘Education: False Advertisement?’ This was an extremely successful event attracting both graduate students and academics from Quebec, Canada and internationally. While a large number of DISE graduate students were involved in the organization of the conference, particular mention must be given to the outstanding contributions of DISE graduate students Sandra Chang-Kredl, Giuliana Cucinelli, and Photi Sotiropoulos, who were the principal conference organizers and coordinators. B. Research 1. Collaborative projects Department members continue to be involved in a broad range of research projects as Principal Investigators (PIs) or Collaborators (CIs) involving members of the McGill community, other universities and research institutes, government and private organizations (see Appendix 7). As in previous years, these include the following: • Canadian federal and provincial agencies including SSHRC, FQRSC, CIHR, and CIDA, IDRC, Centre Immigration et Métropoles, Health Canada. • International agencies such as the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), the , UNESCO. • Private Sector organizations and foundations such as Gas Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago, Imperial Oil, Max Bell Foundation.

13 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

• Government and community organizations including MELS, Kitigan Zibi Education Council, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). Indeed, since its formation in 2001, DISE has continued to expand its collaborative projects, either at the individual faculty level, or in terms of team projects that involve extensive international collaboration with other institutions. The Department considers this to be a key dimension of its identity and intends to expand these contacts over the coming years. 2. International activities DISE faculty have developed a strong and enduring tradition of being involved in international collaborations on a broad spectrum of research activities (see Appendix: 7). Over 2006-07 these have included major grant funded projects such as: language recovery and educational leadership (National Gas Corporation/ IADB/Government of Trinidad and Tobago); professional learning communities (British Council); higher education capacity building (CIDA, Indonesia Social Equity project); science education (Harvard/Smithsonian Institution); HIV/AIDS health education (University of KwaZulu- Natal/UNESCO/CIDA); organizational assessment and orphan care in South Africa (IDRC); educational leadership and science (SSHRC). In their collaborations with other research institutions, faculty have listed over 15 universities and research agencies, including the Universities of Toronto, Sherbrooke, British Columbia, Barcelona, Université de Montréal, KwaZulu-Natal; and organizations such as UNESCO, the National Film Board (NFB) of Canada, British Council, and the National Gas Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago. 3. Publications Members of DISE have continued to increase their publications across a broad spectrum of academic journals at the national and international levels, as well as in other areas such as the media (newspapers/magazines, TV, internet etc.: see Appendices 2, 3 and 7). As in recent years it is evident that new hires have made strenuous attempts to increase both their research productivity and publications in national and internationally peer-reviewed journals and other publications in preparation for re-appointment and tenure. However, of particular note are the contributions of: Dr. Joe Kincheloe (CRC tier 1), who in 2006-07

14 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007 published seven edited books, three book chapters and three peer-reviewed articles; Dr. Claudia Mitchell (James McGill Professor) with 2 edited books, 4 book chapters and 6 peer-reviewed articles; Dr. Shirley Steinberg with 1 co-authored book and 7 book chapters; and Dr. Lise Winer with 1 co-authored book & 2 articles. In brief, the number and particularly the quality of publications being generated by faculty over 2006-07 signals very clearly an ongoing commitment to developing a robust research culture on a par with the top Canadian and international institutions recognized by the Times Higher Educational Supplement (www.thes.co.uk ). C. Academic staff 1. New hires The Department made four new hires in 2006-07. They were: • Dr. Gale Seiler (Science Education tenured) January 1, 2007 • Annie Savard (Mathematics Education) July 1, 2007 • Julie Long (Mathematics Education) July 1, 2008 • Aziz Choudry (International Education) January 1, 2008 In addition to these new appointments, Dr. Mela Sarkar and Dr. Joan Russell were promoted from Assistant to Associate Professor (with tenure), and Dr. Anthony Paré was promoted to Full Professor. 2. Staff departures 2006-07 witnessed the decisions of several staff/faculty to depart from the Department. They are: • Dr. Dip Kapoor (International Education) resigned July 2006. • Dr. Howard Riggs (Maths Education), to retire August 2007 • Dr. Charles Lusthaus (Educational Leadership), to retire August 2007 • Dr. Marc Schwartz (Science Education), to resign August 2007 to take up a position as full professor at the University of Texas (Austin). • Nada Abu-Merhy left the Department as a graduate student coordinator to take up a senior position in KPE as undergraduate student advisor (June 2006).

15 Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report 2006-2007

3. Contributions of sessional, part-time and auxiliary staff The Department continues to rely heavily on the contributions of part-time and sessional staff who teach into both its undergraduate and graduate programs. Approximately 40% of undergraduate and graduate sections are taught by sessional lecturers, most of whom are highly experienced professionals who have many years of experience in the school and CEGEP system. Given that our undergraduate programs are mandated by the MELS, it is essential that the Department is able to continue to draw on this pool of expertise if it is to ensure that they remain relevant, current and in line with the MELS reform (i.e., Quebec Education Program) which is now being implemented in high schools within the province. This continues to place a financial burden on the Department of over $400,000 per annum. While some significant savings (approximately $100,000 per annum) have been made over the past three years from 2003-04 by significantly increasing enrolment with T.A. assistance, any future cost recovery strategies will likely compromise the quality of the Department’s academic programs. Nevertheless, the Department continues to be committed to exploring methods for reducing its reliance on sessional/part-time staff and other ways of reducing its operating costs. 4. Involvement in the community The mission statement of both the Faculty and Department commits DISE members to involvement within the community at all levels (see Appendix 7). Continuing the Department’s tradition of actively engaging with the respective communities with which it is involved, members of DISE continue to build and sustain close links across a broad range of community associations. Indications from research funding and other related activities suggests that most, if not all, Department members are involved in some form of collaboration with the respective communities served by the Department and Faculty (e.g., Montreal school boards, MELS, First Nations and Inuit, local community associations, scholarly/learned societies).

ABC’s of the PhD sessions

“My research is rooted in a post-modern approach – I think – but what does that mean when it comes to methodology?"

WHEN: Friday October 27, 12:30 – 2:00 pm WHERE: Faculty of Education, Rm 233 (conference room) – please bring your lunch.

Being versed in diverse types of ‘methodologies’ can only help you throughout your dissertation process. Come and hear a panel of 3 McGill Education professors ( Carolyn Turner; Steve Jordan, Mary Maguire, Bob Bracewell ) all using different methodological strategies, who will describe how they situate themselves on the ‘Qualitative … Mixed method …. Quantitative’ continuum. Then, having read a common article that challenges some perceived notions of methodology they will describe what they view as interesting, novel, insightful. We hope you will have read the article as well so that their ideas will stimulate group discussion.

159 FACULTY OF EDUCATION, MCGILL UNIVERSITY Department of Integrated Studies in Education Annual Report – Undergraduate Program Director

TO: Steven Jordan, Chair, D.I.S.E.

FROM: Caroline Riches, Undergraduate Program Director

DATE: June 8, 2007

The priority for the direction of the DISE undergraduate programs is to strive for innovation and excellence in our teacher education programs with the overarching goal of international recognition as a centre for excellence in teacher preparation. To this end, attention is paid to ongoing assessment of our practices as well as to program revision, development, innovation and research. This document describes the key activities undertaken in relation to the DISE undergraduate programs in the 2006-2007 academic year in achieving this goal. This includes: committee work, new and ongoing initiatives and future plans and directions. For reference, selected program enrollment figures are included in Appendix A.

COMMITTEES

The Undergraduate Program Director (UPD) served on the committees listed below. A summary of work accomplished in the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee and various subcommittees is selectively provided.

Departmental Committees Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (DISE) - chair Steering Committee (DISE) SLEF (second language education friends) sub-committee Professional Seminar/Field Experience sub-committee (DISE, OST) Faculty of Education Committees Undergraduate Student Affairs Committee Master’s of Teaching program development committee CREPUQ/McGill Academic Program Review Group for B.Ed. K/Elem, B.Ed. K/Elem (Jewish Studies Option), B.Ed. K/Elem (PIF Option), TESL, B.Ed. Secondary, KPE, B.Ed. Phys & Heath Ed. Advisory Committee on Teacher Education and Professional Development Ad hoc Committee - Continuing Education and Professional Development

Undergraduate Curriculum Committee Summary of Issues Committee members included Caroline Riches (chair), Teresa Strong-Wilson, Ron Morris, Elizabeth Wood (newly elected), Donna-Lee Smith (newly elected), Anne Peacock (teacher representative) and Danny Cuval (vice president academic, EDUS). Committee business involved the following:

1 Discussion continued in regard to the development of professional portfolios through- out the B.Ed. programs, beginning in First Professional Seminars and resulting in a completed professional portfolio by the end of students’ final year, suitable for job interview purposes. All professional seminars are designated as responsible for including and addressing professional portfolio development into course content and requirements. In addition, specific courses through the B.Ed. programs are designated to deal with specific aspects/sections of the professional portfolio. We worked with A. Villemaire (Faculty of Education Career Placement Officer) to offer stand alone portfolio workshops and portfolio modules within specific courses. UCC proposed that a general statement regarding professional portfolios (see Appendix B, item 1) be added to all program descriptions in the Undergraduate Calendar. This was approved by the department, and added into the 2007-8 calendar. To address an escalating shift in student behaviour, a course etiquette statement (see Appendix B, item 2) was proposed and subsequently approved and adopted by the department. This statement is to be included on all course outlines and should serve as a starting point for class discussion on professional conduct. Course and program revisions (itemized in Appendix B, item 3) were discussed and proposed. All proposals were brought forth to DISE meetings and have subsequently passed through the faculty and university approval process. The UCC proposed a departmental policy to govern student requests for independent study course agreements with instructors (see Appendix B, item 3). This policy was approved and adopted at the April 25th DISE meeting. In response to ongoing issues surrounding freshman student requirements, program specific freshman year sequences were developed (see Appendix C) in collaboration with the DISE advisors, the Student Affairs Office and the Office of Student Teaching. Freshman students will follow these guidelines beginning in the 2007-8 academic year. Throughout the year the UCC discussed the perceived lack of rigour and inconsistency in undergraduate courses. This will be brought forward as an item for discussion at a DISE meeting next year, along with suggested marking guidelines and the inclusion of marking for language expression/accuracy for all course work. The Faculty of Education regulation that students must attend the first 6 hours of intensive (blocked) courses was removed. The application of this rule proved to be difficult to manage equitably. The attendance requirement is now the responsibility of individual instructors, to be managed as they deem appropriate. Suggestions for doing so include: in-class assignments in the first and/or second class which cannot be made up; inclusion of a statement in the course outline stating that students with more than 2 unexcused absences will receive a ‘J’ grade. It was also suggested that intensive courses begin later on in the academic term, as many students miss the first week of class; in intensive courses there is more of an impact. This will be discussed in the coming year.

Professional Seminar / Field Experience Sub-Committee Work continued to forge links between professional seminars and field experiences in the B.Ed. programs. The major work this year was focused on the pilot project “We are Listening”, outlined below, which originated in this sub-committee. Coordination of EDEC 201 First Year Professional Seminar, EDEC 306 Third Year Professional Seminar (Sec); EDEC 405 Fourth Year Professional Seminar also furthered the work of strengthening connections

2 between these two components. The 4th Year Wrap-around workshops, detailed below, also contributed to this effort.

NEW AND ONGOING ISSUES and PROJECTS

Student Issues Students’ course and program-related problems were dealt with over the course of the year, both alone and in collaboration with the chair, the D.I.S.E. Academic Advisors, the Student Affairs Office and the Office of Student Teaching.

Recruitment Efforts to increase enrollment in undersubscribed programs – TESL, TFSL, B.Sc./B.Ed.. Efforts continued to increase enrollment in undersubscribed programs. Again, due to TESL and TFSL programs having an additional Language Proficiency requirement for admission, a second annual phoneathon was conduced. We were allocated funds from the recruitment office to hire 4 students to phone all TFSL and TESL applicants who had been invited to take the Language Proficiency Test. Approximately 120 prospective students were phoned. A number of prospective students registered for the Language Proficiency Test subsequent to receiving a phoneathon call. Our goal next year is to have this phoneathon included within the regular recruitment office efforts. Our focus will also be on the under-subscribed B.Sc./B.Ed. program.

Design and Coordination of: Journey’s End, Journey’s Start. Workshops for Graduating B.Ed. Students. – with the Office of Student Teaching Dates: April 10 & 11, 2007 In keeping with the CAPFE accreditation of our B.Ed. programs, this collaborative initiative was organized and designed, in collaboration with OST, to bring closure to the final professional seminar and field experience by providing our graduating students with their first professional development conference experience. It consisted of two days of workshops dedicated to their transformation from student teacher to professional, with the first year of teaching in sight. It culminated with a keynote address and a reception attended by students, faculty and workshop speakers. (see Appendix D for schedule). The overall format proved to be a success, thus this workshop series format will be adopted as an annual event.

Pilot Project ‘We are Listening! Shoulder to Shoulder with Teachers’ – with the Office of Student Teaching Dates: May 2005 – May 2008 This pilot project is an innovative, alternate pathway to investigate field experience/coursework connections. It seeks to address key issues which surface repeatedly amongst stakeholders in teacher education, such as more time in schools, experiencing the planning and start-up of a new school year, and a clearer link between theory and practice. This initiative spans the entire fall semester, providing student teachers with a blend of actual classroom practice in host schools (Monday through Thursday) and coursework at the Faculty of Education (Friday). In this way students receive authentic school/classroom experiences while simultaneously having access to a range of scholars to build their knowledge. Course design teams allow for input and collaboration with the cooperating teachers and host schools. This Fall 2006 semester, 14 B.Ed. K/Elementary and 21 B.Ed. Secondary (English and Social Sciences profiles) opted to participate

3 in the pilot. As this pilot project was instituted in order to investigate better ways of delivering our B.Ed. programs, the experience was researched and documented. All student teachers, cooperating teachers and course instructors completed respective questionnaires. Individual interviews were conducted with randomly selected student teachers and cooperating teachers. In the coming year, interviews will be conducted during pilot students’ and regular students’ fourth field experience to investigate these two groups of students’ sense of preparedness for teaching. Select pilot students will also be followed into their first, second, and third years of teaching. We are looking for indicators of success such as: heightened confidence; better developed sense of teacher persona; reduced transition shock; awareness of teacher preparation program relevance to their profession; positive impact on classroom students; longevity in the profession; and teachers as learners. In addition to our research, in January 2007, we held a debriefing reception for all pilot stakeholders; this event was also attended by McGill’s Principal Heather Monroe-Blum and the Faculty of Education’s Dean, Roger Slee. Feedback this year was positive as is manifested by the fact that the pilot format is being repeated this Fall 2007, with increased numbers: 40 B.Ed. K/Elementary and 37 B.Ed. Secondary. Furthermore, it has been expanded to included interested students from all Secondary profiles. The feedback and data collected this year was disseminated at various conferences and at the DISE end of year meeting. This set the stage for discussion and consideration in regard to the feasibility of program wide adoption of the pilot model. To this end, a report will be written to gain support for institution of the pilot model program-wide through inclusion in the white paper and funding through the faculty compact.

Partnership with St. George’s School Dates: November 2005 - ongoing This initiative involves the creation and promotion of research links between St. George’s School and the Faculty of Education. The focus is on the use of technology and multi-media in the teaching and learning. St. George’s School is also one of the host schools participating in the Pilot Project – “We are Listening! Shoulder to Shoulder with Teachers” outlined above.

Development and approval of: Concurrent B.A./B.Ed program – with the Faculty of Arts Dates: April 2005 -ongoing The concurrent B.A./B.Ed program proposal was initiated at the DISE annual retreat 2005. It was developed, in collaboration with the academic associate deans in Education and Arts and submitted for approval over the 2005-6 academic year. Currently the proposed program has been approved at the Faculty of Education and Faculty of Arts level but due to the possible approval of a Master’s of Teaching degree (see below), the concurrent B.A./B.Ed was tabled. As the MELS support for the Master’s of Teaching has been withdrawn, we have plans to renew efforts in having the B.A./B.Ed approved and implemented.

McGill University Academic Program Review Group for CREPUQ report Dates: January 2005 - ongoing Information provided by various representatives from B.Ed. Kindergarten & Elementary (K/Elem), K/Elem (Jewish Studies Option), K/Elem (PIF Option), B.Ed. TESL, B.Ed. Secondary and B.Ed Physical & Heath Education programs was coordinated and summarized to complete the Academic Program Review Document. A draft report was prepared to be submitted to the Academic Program Committee in September, 2007.

International Student Placements with Office of Student Teaching In response to student interest and increased MELS support, international student placements for second or third field experience are being investigated. Contacts are currently being developed in Cuba, Argentina and Mexico for TESL students.

Teacher Training Competency Grids – with Office of Student Teaching In consultation with Jean-Francois Desbiens (Université de Sherbrooke), and in response to and anticipation of CAPFE directives, we are developing and will be introducing competency grids starting in First Year Professional Seminar (Fall 2007). (See Appendix E, for an example grid.) These grids will enable our students to chart the development of targeted competencies across courses and field experiences as they progress through their B.Ed. programs. By Year 3 of their program of study, all competencies will have been addressed. These grids will enable student teachers, cooperating teachers and university instructors to assess the level of mastery of each of the required exit competencies – and provide a “snapshot” overview of each student’s individual progression in this critical dimension of their professional knowledge. These competency grids will become an integral component of the professional portfolio. The Action Plan that is completed by the student teacher at the end of 1st, 2nd and 3rd field experiences will synthesize the practical knowledge gained around the competencies after each field experience.

Conference Co-chair International Conference on Teacher Education and Development: How might teacher education live well in a changing world?, November 2 - November 4, 2006, Calgary, Alta. The Faculties of Education at McGill and the University of Calgary jointly hosted and chaired this conference. It was co-chaired by the UPD and director of the Office of Student Teaching. Efforts consisted of organizing the program, reviewing abstracts, overseeing the website design and content, inviting keynote speakers etc.. Two publications are emanating from the conference: ♦ A book of essays on teacher education (co-editors: C.Riches & F. Benson), working title: "How might teacher education live well in a changing world?", has been accepted for publication by Oxford University Press (Counterpoints Series). Contributing authors are invited and peer reviewed. ♦ Special Issue of the Journal of Educational Thought (JET) (guest co-editors: C. Riches, F. Benson, H. Smits, R. Naqvi). All presenters at the conference were invited to submit conference papers. We are currently at the review stage. Further information on the conference and forthcoming publications is available at: www.ucalgarymcgilledconf.mcgill.ca

Development and approval of Master’s of Teaching program (graduate level) Throughout the 2006-7 academic year various members of DISE worked on developing a proposal for a 60-credit Master’s program for candidates with previous, related degrees, leading to certification in Quebec for secondary teachers. We worked as a small group creating an innovative program involving close interaction of theory and practice, rich and diverse field experiences and service learning, problem-based learning and a cumulative action research project. This could be a great program with great appeal; we had quite a number of inquiries with absolutely no publicity. Unfortunately, in the final hour and due to lack of clarity and direction from the MELS, the MELS withdrew their support, stating that they would only support a degree

5 offered to people already teaching math and science without certification ("tolerance") to solve the shortage of math/science teachers. In addition, the MELS wants the program to offered part- time, wants field experience to be composed of their actual teaching duties, supervised by in- school administration. This was not our vision, as we feel strongly that such a program needs to be much more all encompassing, and on a practical level it is not financially feasible. Development of the Master’s of teaching program is currently on hold; although we are currently negotiating our position with MELS and hope that the development and implementation will be revived.

Content updating and website layout of advising materials The UPD led and coordinated the retrieval and restructuring of our student advising materials for all B.Ed. programs. All material was updated and restructured on both the new and returning student pages on the DISE website. As our faculty website is currently being restructured, I continue to be involved in the website management discussion.

TESL 5 Course Package Development and Coordination The UPD continued the development of courses and coordinated registration for and delivery of the TESL 5 Course Package, designed to address the shortage of ESL teachers in Quebec by providing a means for re-qualification. Students are issued an ‘attestation’ upon success completion of the 5 courses. At the request of the MELS and with approval of McGill, attestations referring to this package as a ‘microprogramme’ were reissued. This year the TESL 5 Course Package was marketed to current and graduating B.Ed. students as well as in- service teachers. Approximately 10 in-service teachers, 3 recent B.Ed. graduates and 22 current B.Ed. students registered for this course package and will have completed this package by the end of July 2007. The TESL 5 Course Package will be offered for the third time in the 2007-8 academic year.

Developed and Coordinated 15 credit Graduate Certificate in TESL The UPD followed through the approval process for the 15 credit Graduate Certificate in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language). Final approval was granted in December of 2006. Program information was added to the graduate program pages of our website and applications were accepted until the extended deadline of March 1, 2007. Ten applications were received and 5 were accepted for this inaugural year. Efforts will be made with the recruitment office to promote this certificate locally, nationally and internationally to increase enrolment in the coming years. The online and intensive courses for this certificate are being developed alongside the courses in the TESL 5 course package, with which they are all cross-listed.

FUTURE PLANS AND DIRECTIONS

The principal work for the coming year is to continue to strive for innovation and excellence in our teacher education programs. To this end, course coordination within and between courses will continue and course and program revisions will be made as appropriate to improve the various programs. Through promotion and recruitment efforts we intend to raise the profile of our B.Ed. programs in order to attracting the best and brightest students into our programs. Discussions in regard to course and program rigour and overall professional goals as addressed

6 through-out the program, for example in the development of professional portfolios and competency grids, will continue. The two pilot projects in the 3rd field experience semesters address a number of issues and needed improvements as identified by stakeholders in the teacher education process. As evident by the number of students opting for both of these pilot initiatives this coming year (e.g., more than half of the eligible K/Elem students), the approach is successful. Thus, research within the pilot project will continue and focus on documenting the theory-to-practice links as articulated in the university courses and on identifying indicators of success through following the 2005-6 pilot and regular program students into the final year of their B.Ed. The results of this research will be channelled into the proposal for the pilot format to be extended program-wide.

Caroline Riches

8 Appendix B: UCC Items

Item 1. Portfolio Statement added to all Calendar Program descriptions: “The department is committed to supporting students in the development and creation of their individual professional portfolios, throughout their program”

Item 2. Statement on Course Etiquette: Given the growing concern among professors and students over significant lapses in classroom etiquette (e.g. incessant chatting, recurring lateness, repeatedly walking in and out of class, use of technology in disruptive ways), it is important to remind students that the Faculty of Education is committed to 1) the development of responsible professional behaviour (MELS, competency no. 12), and 2) a classroom environment conducive to learning. As stated in the McGill Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook (2006), “disruption which occurs during the teaching of a course may be treated as an academic offence under the provisions of Article 19.”

Item 3. Course and Program Revisions: EDSL 255 Second Professional Seminar (TESL), EDSL 330 added as a pre-requisite in order to ensure students take the courses in sequence and are adequately prepared for their second field experience EDSL 304 Sociolinguistics and L2 Education LING 200 or 201 added as pre-requisite in order to ensure students have appropriate background EDER 360 MRE in the K/Elementary Curriculum Title revised to: Ethics, Religious Culture (Elem. School) to reflect new MELS program EDSL 330 L2 Literacy Pre-requisite EDSL 350 added. This will ensure that K/Elementary students (who opt to take this course as an additional methods course) have the appropriate background EDSL 447 Third Year Methods (TESL) Pre-requisite EDSL 311, revised to EDSL 350. This will ensure that K/Elementary students (who opt to take this course as additional methods course) have the appropriate background (previously the pre-requisite was waived, as it required students to take 2 additional courses)

Item 4, Independent Study Course Policy: Students may elect to take an independent study course (EDEC 300 and/or EDEC 301) as part of their B.Ed. program. Guidelines for approval are as follows: ƒ Normally available to only Y3 and Y4 students ƒ Normally only full-time faculty can serve as supervisor ƒ Normally independent study courses can only be used as elective courses ƒ Normally only up to 6 credits allowed ƒ Course contract must be filled out in specific detail ƒ Chair or program director signs off on request form

Centre for Educational Leadership Department of Integrated Studies in Education Faculty of Education Annual Report 2006-2007

Submitted by: Professors Lynn Butler-Kisber & Sylvia Sklar June 26, 2007.

Centre for Educational Leadership, Integrated Studies in Education 2006-2007

Section I: Description of Unit

The Centre for Educational Leadership (CEL) is situated in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education (DISE). It promotes the continuing professional development of teachers, policy makers and educational leaders by providing them with state of the art credit and non-credit programs. It actively outreaches to the local educational community and beyond by responding to the needs, and by providing flexible, innovative and quality services. CEL makes a concerted effort to link local and international research and development activities associated with leadership, professional development, student engagement, educational change and school success. The underlying principles that guide the work of CEL are:

• Pursuit and development of broad-based notions of leadership • Activities based on partnerships • Outreach to the community • Connection between research and practice • Attraction of new populations • Development of innovative initiatives .

Lynn Butler-Kisber, is the Director of CEL, and has the programmatic and financial responsibility for CEL with a primary focus on research, off-campus credit programs, and international projects. The Associate Director, Sylvia Sklar, is responsible for the design and implementation of the non-credit professional development programs. Both work closely together to develop new initiatives and links to the educational community locally, nationally and internationally. Donna Wilkinson currently holds a temporary assignment as the Administrative Coordinator of CEL. Other staff members are appointed on a part time basis as required to meet the financial, managerial, and programmatic requirements of the activities in the Centre. Hiring is done by CEL within the policies established by the University. The Centre works with several ad hoc advisory groups from the Quebec educational system to help guide the design of professional development programs. These groups are composed of prominent educational leaders who are operating in school and non-school settings. The Committees are established by the Centre to explore areas of interest and concerns specific to our client groups, such as teachers and administrators. CEL is a cost recovery unit. It pays ¾ of the Associate Director’s salary, and all of the Administrative Coordinator’s salary. The Department of Integrated Studies in Education (DISE) provides 1/4 of the Associate Director’s salary. Donna manages the CEL budget and coordinates all the non-credit seminars. She also assists with special research and development projects, and is the back up for the Certificate Programs. The Graduate Certificate Co-ordinator, Catherine Hughes coordinates the off-campus, Graduate Certificates in Educational Leadership courses. Additional salaries for casual and temporary staff are generated as required by the projects and programs of CEL. In 2006- 2007, CEL generated a healthy return for the Faculty/Department from the enrolment of the off-campus Graduate Certificates in Educational Leadership (see below). Attendance at the Distinguished Educators Seminar Series consisted of more robust numbers this year since teacher negotiations were resolved. As a result, the returns from seminar series were

Centre for Educational Leadership, Integrated Studies in Education 2005-2006 healthy (see below). These were bolstered further by CEL’s project initiatives that are described below. Because of CEL’s excellent track record since its reconfiguration, the University has agreed to provide a budget for CEL so that salary and benefit encumbrances will not overextend CEL in the summer when it is at its slowest period of the year. The projected budget has been prepared using very conservative estimates of revenue for the year. It will cover salary, benefits and all other expenditures and will yield some additional monies to carry forward into 2008-2009.

Section II: Past Year’s Activities

A. Projects: This year CEL’s work continued to include ongoing local and international research and development activities and some new initiatives. Lynn Butler-Kisber was Co-director with Manuel Crespo of the Université de Montréal, as well as the Project Manager, for the Trinidad and Tobago Educational Leadership Project (TTELP) that is part of the Secondary Education Modernization Programme (SEMP) in Trinidad and Tobago. TTELP was a 3-year project funded by the Inter-American Bank ($907,874.70 Cdn). The project was due to end in March 2006, but was extended because the final disbursement of funds was somewhat delayed. The final deliverables, the report and financial statement, were submitted in early September and it was with mixed emotions that the work came to completion in December 2006. It was a challenging but very interesting and rewarding project. It received high praise from the 43 participants, the Ministry of Education of Trinidad and Tobago, and from the Joint Advisory Board from McGill and l’Université de Montréal. For over 10 years CEL has placed 2 highly accomplished B. Ed students each year for their 4th year field experience at the British West Indies Collegiate in Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), the only secondary institution in TCI that gives A-level examinations. Each year the students are chosen by a committee made up of the Director of Student Teaching, a founder of the Collegiate, the Head of the Collegiate and Professor Howard Riggs who has been a departmental delegate on the committee since its inception in 1995. This model has been a successful one, and has led to work for CEL in Turks and Caicos. It is a model that could be adapted easily to other international contexts and could provide links to new research and professional development initiatives. Interestingly, a former B.Ed. student, Ms. Ramona Parkash-Puni who did her field placement at the Collegiate in 1999 returned to McGill in 2005 and is currently doing her Ph.D. research on what happens to both local and international students after they leave the Collegiate. This year, however, CEL did not send any students to the Collegiate because the Collegiate, which has always generously provided accommodation and ground transportation for the students, felt it could no longer shoulder these expenses. CEL and the Collegiate are continuing to look for ways to defray some of these costs. In the meantime, 3 educators from the Turks and Caicos system attended the Anne Davies Assessment Institute in Montreal (see below), and CEL invited a student from the Collegiate to attend the Youth Summit on Climate Change in Montreal in March that featured Al Gore and David Suzuki. This continued contact resulted in a meeting with the new Minister of Education, Dr. Carlton Mills, with plans for developing further links with the country in the future. CEL continued work with the International Professional Learning Community (IPLC) made up of 12 principals from Lester B. Pearson and New Frontiers School Boards 2

Centre for Educational Leadership, Integrated Studies in Education 2005-2006 and 12 Heads from the Southwest of England. The first publication about the work came out in early 2007. There was sufficient funding left over from MELS for the Quebec IPLC members to attend the Principals’ Conversation, an annual North American conference that was held in Toronto in October 2006. One of the British facilitators, Mr. Julian Thompson, who works at the Centre for Leadership Studies at the University of Exeter attended the conference as a representative from the British contingent. In addition to some very interesting sessions, the group delved into ways of sustaining and extending the IPLC in the future. It was decided that the group should explore creating a Principals’ Network in Quebec. This conversation is continuing and we hope to establish this network in the coming year. The challenge will be to develop a way of doing this that does not require extensive funding. Once again at the request of the IAIN Indonesian Equity Project (CIDA funded), CEL provided a 2-week, intensive course on Mathematics, Science and Libraries to a delegation of 12 people from State Islamic Universities in Jakarata and Yogyakarta and from their partner madrasahs from October 30-November 10, 2006. Mr. Scott Conrod, an Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Education at McGill facilitated this course. Ramona Parkash-Puni, a Ph.D. student of Lynn Butler-Kisber, assisted Mr. Conrod. The participants heard presentations from 10 experts from McGill and the larger educational community, visited schools, attended one of CEL’s seminars on mathematics given by Dr. Trevor Brown from York University, and produced interesting action plans based on their lessons learned in a culminating symposium. CEL has been invited to repeat a similar program on Science and Mathematics for a delegation from Jakarta and Yogakarta Universities for a month in the fall 2007. Also at the request of the IAIN Indonesian Equity Project (CIDA funded), CEL provided an intensive, one-month course on Higher Education Leadership and Management for 24 delegates from AR-Raniry University in Indonesia. CEL arranged for Professor Ted Wall, former Dean of Education at McGill to conduct a needs assessment in Indonesia in March 2007. Then CEL developed the one-month course based on these results. Ted Wall acted as the course facilitator and was assisted by Ben Loomer, an M.A. student in Educational Leadership. Professor Wall worked with the group on leadership theory and strategies, and developing and refining their action plans. Twenty-four members of the academic and support staff across McGill presented to the group on topics that were relevant to the themes that emerged from the needs assessment. The course culminated in a symposium of action plans and lessons learned presented by the participants. The participants had high praise for the course, for the caliber of instruction, presentations and material they received in the program, and for the hospitality they received at McGill. There are plans for another delegation to come to McGill in April- May, 2008.

CEL also began a 3-year efficacy study of the Home Intervention Program of Parents of Youngsters Program (HIPPY) in Montreal funded by the Chagnon Foundation. This is a program that was developed by Aviva Lombard in the late 1960s. It is currently operating in 13 countries world wide. It prepares home visitors to work with parents who in turn work with children on literacy development and socialization skills for school. The purpose of this qualitative project is to follow 14, three-year-old children as they progress through 3 years in the program before starting school. The multicultural nature of HIPPY, Montreal (16 languages represented in the total group of HIPPY participants and the program is taught in both French and English) makes this research context a particularly interesting one. The principal investigator is Lynn Butler-Kisber, and the co-investigator is Sylvia Sklar. During this first year of the study, 2 doctoral students, Jo Anne Kingsley and Pauline Mesher, and one post-doctoral student, Linda Furlini have been involved as research assistants. Cape Farewell is a project that was initiated by film artist David Buckland in England to bring artists, scientists and educators together to raise awareness and address climate change with a focus on the Arctic. Interdisciplinary teams travel on the Dutch schooner, the Noorderlicht to Alesuna, to study the climate, produce art and work with educators to generate school curricula. One voyage has already included a number of students from England. As a result of CEL’s previous work with the British Council (Canada) in developing the IPLC for school leaders, CEL was invited by the Council to help Cape Farewell make an outreach to schools in Canada. CEL has worked with the Cape Farewell team to help select 2 schools in Quebec that have developed a “ground team” of students from which 2 student representatives will be chosen to go on the next voyage in September 2007. A school in Nunavut is also involved. The total student delegation will include these 3 students from Canada, as well as representatives from the United States, England, and Germany. CEL is currently partnering with the National Film Board and the Leading English Education Resource Network (LEARN) of Quebec in conjunction with the Cape Farewell directorate to involve the Quebec student teams in a student leadership network and to produce curriculum materials on climate change that are relevant to the Quebec context.

Lynn Butler-Kisber, Director of CEL, was recently invited by Mr. Michael Canuel, CEO of LEARN to become the Editor of a new, open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that is called LEARNing Landscapes. Her task to date has been to conceptualize the format, content, and audience for the journal that is predicated on the principles of partnership, collaboration, inclusion, and attention to multiple perspectives and voices. The intention is to link theory and practice and to showcase leading educational ideas, research and practices in Quebec, and beyond, by including articles, interviews, visual representations, arts-informed work and multi-media texts. The theme of the inaugural, fall issue is Student engagement in the 21st Century. This project is an exciting opportunity, and relates well to the current work and future directions of CEL.

In May 2007, Lynn Butler-Kisber was invited by former Prime Minister Joe Clark, currently a visiting professor in the Centre for Developing Area Studies, to participate in a conference hosted by Janyne Hodder, President of the College of the Bahamas, soon to be a university, to examine Caribbean/Canadian relations. The conference included participants from the University of Toronto, Carleton University, representatives from the Inter-American Bank, CIDA, and Caribbean Ambassador to the United Nations, among others. The conference provided an invigorating discussion that presented many possibilities for future work and partnerships between Canada and the Caribbean. Discussions are already underway about how CEL might partnerwith the College/Unversity of the Bahamas on leadership initiatives.

B: Graduate Certificates in Educational Leadership

Since 1999 CEL has been offering graduate off-campus educational leadership courses to school boards in the greater Montreal area. The current number of school boards involved now totals 7. The rationale for this work has been predicated on the need to outreach into the educational community, to build networks of school leaders, and to develop capacity within the public school system by delivering high quality and relevant course work. To do this, adjunct professors with a minimum of an M.A. in Leadership and

5

Centre for Educational Leadership, Integrated Studies in Education 2005-2006 extensive experience in the field have been hired to do the teaching. Frequently these instructors have also taught leadership courses at McGill. They know the McGill teaching culture and can bridge these two teaching contexts. Each of the school boards has assigned a liaison person who is in charge of pedagogical services with whom CEL collaborates in assigning instructors to courses and in choosing electives. This collaboration has increased CEL’s communication with the boards and served to heighten its visibility in the school systems. The feedback about these off-site programs is extremely positive. The cohorts have become communities of learners which work together to use their learning to problem solve in their systems. The instructors are continually amazed at the quality of the work, the enthusiasm and the dedication of the groups. The school boards value and appreciate CEL’s partnerships with them, and are quick to turn to CEL for ideas and resources as a result. Over the years, CEL has been approached by some of the more remote English school boards hoping to have their principals and potential principals take the graduate certificates. The problem has always been the distance between schools within these boards. While CEL could offer off-site courses in one location, it was too costly for the boards to bring their personnel together, and the technology that existed in the boards was never adequate enough to support other distance possibilities. This has now changed. A foundation set up by MELS called the Leading English Education and Resource Network (LEARN) funded by federal entente money is now able to service the newer technology that MELS is providing to boards. This year CEL partnered with LEARN, which provided the technological support, to pilot its first e-learn graduate certificate course in winter 2007. The course was made up of 22 graduate students from Lester B. Pearson, New Frontiers, Riverside and Eastern Shores School Boards. The model was a synchronous one where the instructor, Dr. Ken Robertson worked online with the participants for 3 hours each week, and met face-to-face with the group once per month, except with those from Eastern Shores. During the face-to-face encounters, the Eastern Shores group participated online. For one of the four face-to-face meetings, Donna Bisson, Director General of Eastern Shores School Board kindly supported the students’ travel and accommodation so they could attend the class in Montreal. This helped to integrate these students into the group, and enhanced the already interesting exchanges that were happening online. CEL is now committed to offering at least one online course per semester (fall and winter). Already students are asking about online possibilities, and it is anticipated that this interest will continue to grow and extend beyond Quebec to other contexts. Table 1 below gives an overview of the courses offered this year. The cost to the Department has been $5000 per instructor and approximately $23,000 in program operating costs for a total of $78,000 less a recuperation fee of $200 per student for the difference between the number registered and an expected class size of 20, an agreement made with the Boards 5 years ago. This year the recuperation amount is $9,200, making the net cost of the off-campus courses to be $68,800. The course registrations yield approximately $700 per student (this calculation does not include on-campus Certificate students), of which approximately 80% returns to the Faculty, therefore we estimate that the annual net gain to the Faculty for 2006-07 from the Graduate Certificates in Educational Leadership courses is $91,280. It should be noted that these off-site courses attract a population of students most of whom would not be in the programs if they had to take their courses at McGill.

It should be noted that “independents” are applicants to the Certificate Programs who are not part of a school board cohort and take their courses at McGill. Table 5 shows that surprisingly, even after more than 5 years which is often the life span of a certificate program, our admissions are offsetting the number of students who are graduating from the Certificate Program. 7

C: Seminar Series

The Distinguished Educators Seminar Series (DESS) offered by the Centre for Educational Leadership (CEL) provides professional development opportunities for teachers, administrators, school board personnel and other stakeholders in K-12 education. Seminars are held in hotels and participants continue their discussions and engage in networking during the lunch that is included in their registration fee. Whenever possible, they also receive a copy of the presenter’s book as part of the package. This successful series has provided the “bread and butter” returns for this cost recovery unit. It has enabled CEL to pay salaries, cover most of the operational costs and seed the development of new projects. The main challenge facing CEL this year was the deluge of “offres de services” from MELS to the school systems. These workshops were presented by MELS personnel to show teachers how to implement the QEP. Because of the previous year’s boycott of such QEP workshops, MELS increased the pace to make up for lost time. So much professional development has been showered upon the school boards by MELS that many teachers feel overwhelmed and are not interested in seeking additional workshops 9

Centre for Educational Leadership, Integrated Studies in Education 2005-2006 elsewhere. However, many teachers in Quebec, tired of the professional day “forced marches”, are tempted by the high quality and very professional offerings and turn out for our Seminar Series. The most significant impact on CEL was competition for teachers’ time, and the increase in substitution costs to release teachers to attend MELS workshops. Teachers do not pay to attend MELS workshops (as opposed to CEL’s registration fee of approximately $175 per day plus taxes) and they are often mandated by their principals to attend. The outlook for the coming year looks encouraging. Since MELS will be concentrating its workshops on secondary teachers, CEL is planning the series for teachers of elementary and middle grades. This group has been much more active in CEL programs in previous years. After consulting widely with the different stakeholders in the educational community, we have redesigned the Distinguished Educators Seminar Series. We anticipate that we will increase our registrations from 538 this year to 750 next year. While MELS will be hammering away at the QEP, we will be offering a series based on four major themes: • Making Classroom Assessment Work • Respectful Schools • Museums as a Resource for Learning • Climate Change and Environmental Awareness.

Figures from the internal budget tracking sheets managed by CEL in 2006-2007 indicate that gross revenues of $138,770 were generated from the 538 registrations in the seminars. Program expenses, including 15% for Federal and Provincial taxes totaled $47,558. This leaves a net of $66,967. As usual, we anticipate a return of some portion of the 15% deducted for taxes. In spite of the increased competition for professional development, the net revenue increased by $26,434 from last year.

Section III: Conclusion

In order to succeed at outreach to the educational community, CEL has had to create and maintain cooperative links with the leadership of educational organizations and associations that represent its clientele. The cohorts of educators that continue to be 11

Centre for Educational Leadership, Integrated Studies in Education 2005-2006 attracted to the off-campus Graduate Certificate in Educational Leadership Programs are prime examples of CEL’s proactive response to the government regulation requiring university credit courses for new and aspiring school administrators. The new online courses that are being created in partnership with LEARN should extend CEL’s outreach to the more remote areas of the English educational sector in Quebec and internationally. The Assistant Deputy Minister of Education, Leisure and Sports, the Directors General of the English school boards, and President of the Teacher’s Union are in frequent contact with the Director and Associate Director of CEL. In addition to maintaining close links with the Association of Administrators of English Schools of Quebec (AAESQ) and the Quebec Provincial Association of Teachers (QPAT), CEL represents McGill at the Pedagogical Services Advisory Committee (PSAC) and at the Comité de perfectionnement des directeurs d’établissement d’enseignement (CPD). This Ministerial committee monitors the provincial regulations regarding university programs for school principals. Other universities on the CPD committee include the Université de Montréal, Université Laval, Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Université de Sherbrooke, Université à Chicoutimi, Université du Québec à Rimouski, and Université du Québec en Outaouais. These ongoing links are critical for CEL’s outreach to and support from the educational community. As a result of the success of the Higher Education Leadership Management course and the Science/Mathematic/Library carried out this year and funded by CIDA via the IAIN Social Equity Project, CEL has been invited to host another mission of mathematics and science teachers from the Jakarta and Yojakarta universities in October/November 200. This ongoing work with Indonesia has added to the international profile of CEL, and has expanded our ways of thinking about and carrying out leadership activities and professional development. Opportunities continue to evolve for the work of CEL. The changing demographics for teachers and administrators as a result of a growing wave of retirements suggest a widespread need for induction and mentoring work. With ongoing outreach, it will be possible for CEL to continue to grow and develop in Ontario, and the Maritime provinces. CEL continues to explore links with local francophone universities to collaborate on professional development activities in both languages. Finally, CEL’s growing international initiatives will provide unique opportunities for professional development, partnerships, and research activities. The success of CEL depends on its commitment to partnerships and outreach, and on the internal, collaborative efforts of the CEL team. CEL is indebted to the fine work of support staff Catherine Hughes, and Donna Wilkinson, as well as to graduate students Ramona Parkash-Puni, Lisa Reisinger and Benjamin Bloomer. CEL is also indebted to the many excellent instructors who participate in the leadership certificate courses and projects. This year these included: Scott Conrod, Pat Deans, Jim McKinnon, Lesley Pasquin, Ken Robertson, Robert Saggers, Don Taylor, Ted Wall, and Sue Winn. In conclusion, while CEL has been around for a long time, established by the former department of Educational Administration and Policy Studies in Education two decades ago, its focus has changed dramatically. Originally CEL provided leadership development through non-credit professional development activities. In the last 7 years, the work of CEL has expanded the notion of leadership and has focused on building research and development work, institutionalizing the off-campus Graduate Certificate Programs and the recent online courses supported by LEARN, and making important links with the educational community locally and internationally through research and professional 12

Centre for Educational Leadership, Integrated Studies in Education 2005-2006 development activities that include the Seminar Series, the IPLC project with the UK and network of local leaders, the work with Indonesia, the HIPPY project, work with Cape Farewell as well as the anticipated future work with the Bahamas, and Turks and Caicos. The pressure to generate sufficient funds to cover salaries and administrative costs is substantial, but the work it enables is exciting, and brings both recognition and possibilities to the Department and Faculty.

Annual Report 2006-2007

Centre for the Study and Teaching of Writing Integrated Studies in Education Faculty of Education

Description of Unit

The Centre for the Study and Teaching of Writing (CSTW) was established in 1978, first as a writing tutorial service and then, in 1980, as a teaching unit. Initially responsible for a single course of 100 students in the MBA program, the Centre has expanded over the years to teach a variety of undergraduate, certificate, and graduate courses in Management, Engineering, Social Work, Science, Education, and Continuing Education. For most of the past 20 years, including 2006-2007, over 2,000 students a year have taken courses offered by the Centre. Unfortunately, the Centre suspended its writing tutorial service this year after nearly 30 years of operation (more on this below).

There are currently three full-time faculty members in administrative positions with the Centre: the director, Anthony Paré (professor), and two associate directors, Doreen Starke-Meyerring (assistant professor) and Carolyn Pittenger (faculty lecturer). Paré and Starke-Meyerring also have duties outside the Centre. The Centre is served by Diane Rabey as secretary. In addition, there are nine faculty lecturers – Linda Anderson, Diane Eyre, Kathleen Greenfield, Mark Hegins, Charlotte Hussey, Diane Klempner-Russell, Judith Ritter, Donna-Lee Smith, and Sharron Wall – and in 2006-07 one long-serving part-time instructor, Dan Darrigan. Finally, the Centre was able this past year to employ four PhD students as writing teachers: Jonathan Langdon, Miriam Horne, John Pascarella, and Dana Salter.

Most of the Centre’s courses are designed to help students participate in the written and oral communication practices that are particular to their fields of study. The Centre’s approach assumes that knowledge in all academic areas is created through discipline- specific literacy practices, and that students need opportunities to engage in those practices in the critical, informed environment of a communication course. The Centre’s curricula are based on current theory and research in writing studies. Although all the courses attend to both academic and professional writing and speaking, some courses are focused most specifically on communication in the academic discipline: Communication in Management I, Communication in Education, Communication in Social Work, Effective Communication. Others attend primarily to professional and workplace communication: Communication in Engineering, Communication in Management II, Communication in Public Relations. Two courses are specifically designed for high-level academic and scholarly writing: Advanced Written Communication and Science Writing. Finally, a few specialized courses are occasionally offered: Tutoring Writing, Expressive Writing, Learning to Writing Poetry, and Learning to Write Fiction.

Past Year’s Activities

Teaching and Learning

1. Management courses: As reported in the Centre’s 2005-06 report, the Faculty of Management elected to remove two CSTW courses from its core curriculum: Communication in Management I and Communication in Management II. Communication in Management I was required of most B.Com students, and Communication in Management II was required of all B.Com students. Because this change resulted in the loss of approximately 40 course sections per year, it was necessary to terminate the contracts of six faculty lecturers, and letters were sent to Linda Anderson, Diane Eyre, Kathleen Greenfield, Mark Hegins, Diane Klempner-Russell, and Judith Ritter.

Unfortunately, after those termination notices had been sent, the Faculty of Management notified the Centre that its records showed a near-full cohort of students still requiring Communication in Management I and Communication in Management II. As a result, after considerable difficulty and delay, offers to re-instate the six lecturers were sent, and four accepted, Anderson, Eyre, Greenfield, and Hegins. To replace those instructors not returning, the Centre hopes to hire ten graduate students for the 2007-08 academic year. (However, at the time of writing, the students reported by Management had failed to register for sections, and further cancellations seem likely.)

2. Another set-back for the Centre this year was the suspension of the writing tutorial service, which the CSTW had managed to keep going for most of the past 30 years. The service had been offered for free to any McGill student who cared to make an appointment. Initially funded by the Dean of Students, the service had been continued by a variety of means after funds were stopped, including volunteers and, most recently, graduate students serving as tutors to fulfill the practicum requirement of a course called Tutoring Writing. There were many costs associated with this “free” service, however, including the instructor’s salary for the graduate course, the time spent by the Centre’s secretary in booking appointments, and the rooms needed for tutorials.

3. One innovative new course was designed by Dr. Starke-Meyerring this year and offered in the winter semester: EDEC 617 Special Topics: Critical Internet Studies: Discourse, Technology, and Society. We believe this course can become a central offering in a new MA in literacy studies.

4. Sharron Wall, who has almost single-handedly worked to keep writing instruction at the centre of the Continuing Education program in Public Relations, was very involved this year in a Writing-Across-the-Curriculum project in PR. Sharron remains the most visible and active CSTW representative in Continuing Education and continues to have an important influence on our work in that unit.

5. Technology: The Centre has continued to be at the forefront of technology-in-teaching. Beginning with an AT&T sponsored computer-assisted writing lab in 1988, the Centre has always worked to introduce new technologies. In fact, keeping up-to-date with technology is critical for the Centre, particularly as communication becomes increasingly digital in all disciplines. The great majority of Centre classes rely on WebCT, and many instructors bring the Faculty’s new portable laptop lab into their classrooms. IMS staff are well aware of the Centre’s heavy investment in technology for teaching, and have offered private tutorials to CSTW staff in the transition to Vista. That transition has been successfully completed.

The Centre worked with McGill CIO Sylvia Franke, Gary Bernstein (NCS) and others to continue to develop the necessary infrastructure for research writing in digital environments. Our proposal had been approved by the Research and Computing Subcommittee of the Senate Technology Committee, and we received support in the form of roughly $60,000 from Central Administration, which includes a special server and technical support for the project. Our pilot project has been successful, and the university is now working to develop appropriate infrastructure and support services for researchers. As with the wireless laptop lab for teaching, the work of the CSTW and thus DISE serves again as a technology pilot project for the university.

Scholarship

1. Another CSTW tradition continued this year was the Writing Seminar Series, a McGill-funded program that has operated for most of the past two decades. This year eight visiting scholars presented in the series: Dr.Alison Lee, Senior Lecturer at University of Technology Sydney, Australia; Dr. Roger Graves, Director of Professional Writing, University of Western Ontario; Dr. Heather Graves, independent researcher (formerly DePaul University, Chicago); Dr. Johnson-Eilola and Dr. Brent Faber, professors in the Department of Communication and Media, Clarkson University, New York; Dr. Michel Fayol and Dr. Denis Alamargot, professors, Université Blaise Pascal, France, and University of Poitiers, France, respectively; and Dr, Lara Varpio, Academy for Innovation in Medical Education, University of Ottawa. (See attached description of the Seminar Series.) In addition, for the second year in a row, we brought in Dr. Peter Kastberg and Dr. Constance Kampf – this year joined by colleague Dr. Marianne Grove- Ditlevsen - from the Institute of Language and Business Communication at the Aarhus School of Business in Denmark.

2. Thanks in large part to the ongoing work of Doreen Starke-Meyerring, the Centre is a key player in the formation of a pan-Canadian research cluster. (Please see Dr. Starke- Meyerring’s annual report for details concerning conference and research network grants from SSHRCC). In addition, in collaboration with Dr. Lynn McAlpine, Drs. Starke- Meyerring and Paré are involved in a SSHRC grant ($156,858). In line with the Centre’s research mandate, Starke-Meyerring and Paré have focused their attention in that research project on dissertation writing. A partial list of work in 2006-07 relative to that research follows (for a more complete list of CSTW-related scholarship, see individual reports from Starke-Meyerring and Paré):

3. The Centre was also very involved – again, largely through Dr. Starke-Meyerring’s efforts – with this year’s annual meeting of the Canadian Association of Teachers of Technical Writing. For the second year in a row, Dr. Starke-Meyerring organized the CATTW meeting and was able to bring together scholars from Canada, the US, the UK, Denmark, France, and elsewhere.

Staff

The Centre has always been fortunate to have an extraordinarily committed teaching staff, despite what must be considered inadequate salary and working conditions. Although any partial listing of exemplary staff would necessarily leave off some who deserve the Department’s thanks, I would like to single out some of my long-serving and dedicated colleagues: Carolyn Pittenger, who manages the complex task of scheduling and staffing with precision and foresight, and who – since 1980 – has been a key source of the Centre’s innovative and challenging pedagogy; Sharron Wall, who (as noted above) has done important teaching and liaison work in Continuing Education and who has helped create – in the Public Relations Certificate – the only writing-intensive program at McGill; and Charlotte Hussey, Linda Anderson, for Donna-Lee Smith their ongoing commitment to high quality teaching for the Centre’s students. Finally, as mentioned above, the Centre lost two veteran teachers this year in Judith Ritter and Diane Klempner Russell; McGill owes them a debt of thanks for their many years of service.

Honours, Awards, Prizes, Publications, and Consulting Activities

Doreen Starke-Meyerring finished her service Vice President of the Canadian Association of Teachers of Technical Writing and became President. Anthony Paré was promoted to full professor. Paré’s co-authored article, with C. Le Maistre and S. Boudreau, “Mentor or evaluator? Assisting and assessing newcomers to the profession.” Journal of Workplace Learning. 18 (6): 344-354, was awarded Highly Commended Winner of the Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence, 2007. And two of Paré’s graduate students won prizes: Artemeva, Natasha (PhD): Outstanding Dissertation Award, Conference on College Composition and Communication, 2007; Beauchamp, Catherine (PhD) (Co-supervised with Dr. Lynn McAlpine); Robert J. Menges New Researcher Award: SIG for Faculty Teaching, Evaluation, and Development of the American Educational Research Association, 2007.

In order to keep the Centre well-connected to the field of Writing Studies, Paré and Starke-Meyerring carry a heavy service load. A selected list of reviewing responsibilities for Starke-Meyerring follows:

- reviewer for Conference on College Composition and Communication 2008. - reviewer for the 2007 Conference of the Association of Internet Researchers - member, Review Board, Writing in Digital Environments, Michigan State University - reviewer, Association of Internet Researchers Conference - reviewer, IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication - member, Research Committee of the Association of Business Communication - reviewer, Technostyle And for Paré: - reviewer, Technical Communication Quarterly - member, Editorial Board, Written Communication - member, Advisory Board, Handbook of Writing Research - reviewer, Pedagogies: An International Journal - reviewer, English for Specific Purposes

Plans for 2007-08

We will teach the last compulsory sections of Communication in Management I and II this coming year but may, if asked, continue to run a few sections for students who choose those courses. Although previous attempts to cooperate with Management on the development of some form of communication component in the B.Com failed, the Centre is open to further talks.

In August 2007, seven graduate students will begin training as new CSTW instructors – training that will continue throughout the year – and each student will be given a more senior teacher as mentor. In addition, three graduate students will be returning, and we hope to continue that pattern – with some new and some veteran students each year. Salaries paid to these teachers represent more than $50, 000 in financial assistance to graduate students as well as an invaluable experience in university-level teaching.

Finally, CSTW staff will continue their involvement in research: a SSHRC-funded study of doctoral education, and another SSHRC-funded study into restoring and maintaining the Mi’gmaq language. In addition, two SSHRC applications are being prepared, one dealing with digital literacy and doctoral education and the other, in collaboration with colleagues from Carleton University, concerning the acculturation process for new faculty members.

FIRST NATIONS AND INUIT EDUCATION JUNE 1 2006 – MAY 31 2007 ANNUAL REPORT

The 2006 – 2007 academic year for First Nations and Inuit Education was exciting and fruitful – from traveling to the Arctic with McGill University Principal Heather Munroe- Blum to creating a new Bachelor of Education program with a First Nations and Inuit Option. Included in the overall success were the 58 students who graduated from our various teacher training programs, 13 of whom are on the Dean’s Honour List.

GRADUATIONS We began the academic year in June with Arctic College graduations in Iqaluit and Arviat. What makes these graduations so remarkable is not just the remote locations, but the deep dedication of both the teachers and students. The delivery of these programs takes place in the land of the midnight sun and many of the courses are taught in Inuktitut – attesting to McGill University’s commitment to preserving and strengthening Indigenous languages and cultures.

The highlight of the academic year occurred in July with Principal Heather Munroe- Blum’s trip to Akulivik to attend the Kativik School Board’s graduation; Sally McDougall from the Board of Governors also accepted FNIE’s invitation to attend the northern graduation. A trip such as this by senior administration attests that McGill University values its relationship with First Nations and Inuit communities and is committed to meeting the needs of its Indigenous partners.

In August the Cree School Board hosted a celebration in Val d’Or for graduates of the Certificate in Aboriginal Literacy. Education Faculty Associate Dean Jamshid Beheshti attended this graduation that saw the 3rd cohort from the CSB walk across the stage to receive their literacy diplomas. Deliveries of this certificate have also taken place in the Mohawk community of Kahnawake and the Mi’kmaq community of Wagmatcook.

Our on-campus graduations in November and May were celebrated with post- convocation luncheons, speeches and gifts. Deputy Provost Morton Mendelson and Sally McDougall from McGill University and senior members from the Kativik School Board, the Cree School Board, the Kahnawake Education Centre, and the Kitigan Zibi Education Board attended to honour the justly proud graduates, families and friends.

In all we had 53 graduates from the following programs: • Certificate in Education for First Nations and Inuit • Bachelor of Education for Certified Teachers • Certificate in Inclusive Education • Certificate in Aboriginal Literacy Education

FIRST NATIONS AND INUIT STEERING COMMITTEE Twice a year representatives from FNIE’s partners join together for Steering Committee meetings to share their successes and concerns. In November for the first time in the history of the unit our meeting was held off campus in Kahnawake, offering our group a rare visit to a partner community. As per usual, FNIE and each of the partners gave an up-date about programs, students, issues and initiatives.

While our partners are impressed with their teacher trainees and the quality of courses offered in the community-based programs, FNIE continues to identify and work on what needs to be improved. FNIE partners recognize that their students are graduating from the top university in Canada, and one of the best in the world – the international recognition of the McGill name matters greatly to them.

ACIVITIES i) First Nations and Inuit Education’s most important initiative over the past year was the collaborative development of the Bachelor of Education, Kindergarten / Elementary, First Nations and Inuit Option. This new program took shape over many meetings both in the north and on campus, thanks to input from all the FNIE partners, and in particular from the Cree School Board Planning Group. It was presented to and accepted by McGill University Senate and the Ministry of Education, Leisure and Sports. This new program places emphasis on culture, language and community-based delivery, but what makes it special is that, unlike the present program offered in our partner communities, the new B.Ed. leads to general certification.

ii) Over the course of the past year, McGill University has been in negotiations with Arctic College concerning the contract renewal of the Nunavut Teacher Education Program; despite the best efforts by the University to meet the demands of Arctic College, the contract was not renewed. McGill University has been a partner with Arctic College for almost 3 decades and is saddened by the end of the relationship.

iii) FNIE is pleased to announce that a new cohort from the Kahnawake Education Centre began courses in the Certificate in Education for First Nations and Inuit. Discussions are underway as well for an Algonquin and a Nascapi program delivery.

iv) FNIE Director, Donna-Lee Smith, accepted invitations to give presentations across campus and in high schools concerning First Nations and Inuit educational issues. She also gave writing workshops in Kuugaaruk (Nunavut), Kuujjarapik (Nunavik), and Kahnawake.

v) Due to all the graduations, workshops, research meetings and planning sessions, Donna-Lee Smith traveled a total of 66 days to First Nations and Inuit communities.

RESEARCH i) FNIE is pleased to be a partner in the research project: ‘Mi’gmaq in Listuju: Reclaiming a Heritage Language Outside the Conventional Classroom’; Mela Sarkar is the principal investigator, with Steven Jordan, Anthony Pare, and Teresa Strong-Wilson as co-investigators. The project has been awarded a $200,000.00 SHHRC grant.

ii) Donna-Lee Smith and Josephine Peck are co-investigators in the research project: ‘A Longitudinal Study of the Mi’kmaq Language’; the project has been awarded a $7,800.00 grant from Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey.

COMMITTEES Donna-Lee Smith sits on the Aboriginal Affairs Work Group; while the mandate of this group includes increased recruitment of Indigenous students, FNIE has never actively recruited students for its programs (because they are community based and the communities themselves do the recruiting). FNIE is, however, interested in seeing more Indigenous students come on campus; more programs targeting their academic needs (such as the Bachelor of Education, First Nations and Inuit Option); and more support for the students and their families. The creation of the AAWG states to the University at large and Indigenous communities across Canada that McGill takes its commitment to First Nations and Inuit education seriously and is willing to contribute resources to that end.

Roger Slee, Dean of Education, has established a faculty-based First Nations and Inuit Steering Committee; this group works as an umbrella for Indigenous-based teaching, research, and contracts. FNIE is seen as a model for its work in Indigenous teaching; there are numerous research projects underway in Indigenous communities, including Steve Jordan, Chair of the Department of Integrated Studies in Education (James Bay Cree), and Mela Sarkar Director of Graduate Studies (Mi’kmaq); there are also contracts with various communities, for example Professor Jon Bradley’s school evaluations with the Algonquin community of Kitigan Zibi.

The School of Social Work delivers the only other Indigenous community-based programs by McGill University. As there is much in common between SSW and FNIE, Director Donna-Lee Smith sits on the SSW Steering Committee. Concerns about community needs, program delivery, and language are on-going discussions.

Each year there is more interest from McGill University southern students who wish to do a stage in an Indigenous community. To date our students have been well received by the host community and school – and the learning experience has proven to be reciprocal. With the closing of some schools in the English sector in Montreal, northern stages may become a welcome alternative for more of our southern students.

Over the past academic year, FNIE sent McGill University instructors to the following communities to teach a variety of courses and workshops: • Iqaluit • Arviat • Kuugaaruk • Kuujjuaq • Waskaganish • Chisasibi • Kahnawake

When an instructor from the south enjoys a successful course delivery in the north and that experience is shared with colleagues and students at McGill University, some of the stereotypical view of the north begins to fade. It is crucial for those with no northern experience to understand that there is far more to the Indigenous ways of life than what is often portrayed so negatively in the media. FNIE plays an integral part in the on-going success of Indigenous education and community life.

McGill University Professor Jack Cram began Native and Northern Education in the early eighties and it is his vision that drives the work of First Nations and Inuit Education today. The Jack Cram Award was established in his honour and is given to 2 Inuit students for further study. The recipients this year are Ashley Paniyuk-Dean from Arctic College and Syra Qinuajuak from the Kativik School Board.

STAFF Kevin O’Connor, a doctoral candidate in DISE, was hired for the fall and winter terms as assistant to the Director; he also taught a number of community-based courses over the year.

CONCLUSION The challenges of delivering community-based programs over the past academic year have thrown nothing new at FNIE: finding teachers available to teach in the north is a perennial problem, as is making sure materials arrive on time and in the right community; graduations or courses being postponed because of weather, illness or death is unfortunately not new either; breakdown of communication via telephone, fax or email is something the FNIE staff takes in stride; and an intimate connection with our partners and the communities has always involved knowing when a student will not be taking a course because she has just given birth, or a family member has died. The FNIE staff are dedicated to meeting the demands of the unit – they recognize that being part of FNIE means that 9 to 5 does not exist – and that ‘living the job’ does. As Director of First Nations and Inuit Education please allow me to commend Sylvie Bosher and Tina Schiavone for there tireless work over the past year, and to welcome Diane Rabey.

MISSION STATEMENT The principal mandate of First Nations and Inuit Education is to coordinate the work which the Faculty of Education carries out in partnership with various Indigenous communities and institutions. In collaboration with the Nunavut Teacher Education Program, the Kativik School Board, the Cree School Board, the Kahnawake Education Centre and various other Indigenous communities in Quebec, Eastern Canada, and Nunavut, FNIE delivers community-based teacher education programs for initial teacher certifications, as well as further professional development. It also works with departments in the Faculty to meet the educational needs of First Nations and Inuit peoples, supports students who study on campus in the Faculty, and is involved in research which provides communities, schools, and the unit with information about issues pertaining to Indigenous education. Finally, its mandate includes sensitizing non- Indigenous people to the educational needs of Canada’s Indigenous peoples.

Of particular note: We deliver our community-based programs over an area equivalent to that of Europe; we have partnerships with the Inuit of Nunavut and Nunavik; the Cree of James Bay; the Algonquin of central Quebec; the Mohawk of southern Quebec; and the Mi’kmaq of the Maritimes.
