Teaching Philosophy: Since 1986, Dr. Cheung has been teaching at the graduate level in social work and has used multiple methods to deliver lectures, including experiential and skill-building approaches according to the nature of the course. Her philosophy is based on a holistic and realistic approach to maximize students' learning potential. This holistic approach is applied to teaching with the use of multi-model methods and media through the inclusion of multicultural examples and perspectives of practice. To illustrate the reality of practice, Dr. Cheung uses real-life stories to demonstrate issues in social work practice and uses humor to dissipate learning anxiety. She identifies suitable technology (e.g. Response Pads, 5-way learning with videotaped sessions) to facilitate classroom discussions that link to direct practice. She incorporates technology, such as polling and guided imagery, into clinical practice to conduct mental health assessments. Through a student-centered approach, she expresses high interest in students' learning and respects students' constructive opinions. She has given students a sense of ownership of the course through actively listening to their feedback. Dr. Cheung applies problem-based learning principles to course design according to both the school's curriculum goals and students' educational needs. As part of MSW or Ph.D. education, she has encouraged students to discuss with her any social work issues— micro or macro, research or direct practice—in class or after class. Integration of theory, research, and experience into practice is the core of her teaching approach. Prof. Monit Cheung.

The Agreement was more in keeping with my original negotiations with Kordia after their first Agreement was presented. The agreement is for three years, and I expect the first payment to be paid to Kordia within the next month or so, for year one (2019/2020). One of the outcomes from this Agreement was the identification of various VHF Repeaters around the country that NZART had been paying the power bill for. From this new agreement going forward all branches with VHF Repeaters will be invoiced by NZART to pay their share of the power bill. For some branches with very few members this may become a huge burden, so they will need to consider whether to pay the invoice or to remove their repeater and locate it away from the Kordia site. In the South Island one larger branch has offered to support its smaller brother by subsidising in part their invoice. As per normal business billing, NZART has set the invoice issue date as 1 October 2019 and expect it to be paid in full by 20 November 2019.
