Master Teacher Program 2018 Graduate Recognition Ceremony Vanier College is pleased to announce that 13 of its teachers received recognition of their Master Teacher Program Certificate, Diploma, or Master Degree at the recent 2018 Graduate Recognition Ceremony which was held at Champlain College, St. Lambert Campus, on Friday, October 19, 2018 at 7:15 p.m. This Graduate Recognition Ceremony is an event that is held every two years and celebrates the accomplishments of the Cegep teachers and staff who complete one of the three programs offered within the Master Teacher Program (MTP). The Master Teacher Program is a graduate- level, education program for Cegep teachers, offered by the Université de Sherbrooke. Graduate Certificate in College Teaching (GCCT): Participants who take the Certificate program are taught the pedagogical basics of excellent teaching skills, knowledge, and attitudes in the four core courses: College Teaching and Course Design, Assessment as Learning, How Students Learn, and Instructional Strategies for Active Learning. From there, there are several elective courses to choose from: Inclusion, Developmental Psychology, Teaching with Technology, Dynamics and Diversity, Blended Learning, Group Work, Motivation, and Program Evaluation. Graduate Diploma in College Teaching (D.E.): Participants who continue in the Master Teacher Program, take the next 15 credits to complete the Diploma program. Core courses include Constructing Knowledge in Your Discipline, Constructing Knowledge Across Disciplines, Philosophy of Education, Integration Seminar, as well as a few elective courses from the GCCT list above. Master of Education in College Teaching (M.Ed.): Participants who continue to the end of the Master Teacher Program, complete the research portion of the program, both the theoretical and the practical components, and develop and conduct a research activity, often in their own college or classroom. Vanier College is proud to announce that we have 13 MTP graduates in total, with five teachers who completed the 15-credit Graduate Certificate in College Teaching: Meghna Banerjee (Economics), Stefan Bracher (Physics), Chester Moran (Respiratory and Anesthesia), Valeria Rea (Nursing), and Fiona Rowlands (Early Childhood Education). Four Vanier College teachers completed the 30-credit Graduate Diploma in College Teaching: Meghna Banerjee (Economics), Michelle Bayard (Nursing), Elana Cooperberg (Pedagogical Support and Innovation Office), and Juan Alejandro Robles (Nursing). Four Vanier College teachers completed the full 45-credit Master of Education in College Teaching degree: Dana Bath (English), Jailson Lima (Chemistry), Juan Alejandro Robles (Nursing), and Nicholas Rudi (Industrial Electronics). The Master Teacher Program is offered in English and is available to all individuals who work in a Quebec Cegep, teachers and staff alike. Courses are held in the Montreal-area Cegeps, however, thanks to the online, blended-learning structure of the program, Cegep teachers from anywhere in the province can attend online and participate fully in the activities being done in the physical classroom in Montreal. Some individual classes are designed where everyone, all the participants, the teacher, and the technical support person, are all online for the entire class, while other classes require that everyone attend physically, in-class, in Montreal. For more information about the Master Teacher Program, please contact Julia Hall from the Pedagogical Support and Innovation (PSI) Office, or visit the Université de Sherbrooke, Performa website.

Nora Soukiassian, FSSCAL Treats (but no Tricks) UB Concert It’s Halloween this Wednesday! I can’t disguise my delight at being able to invite you to head down to the Auditorium during UB for some scary music courtesy of the Music Department’s excellent and talented students. And what’s scary about it? Can’t tell you. That will give away any surprises. But I CAN tell you that there will be some wonderful musical treats to be had—and no tricks or unpleasantness to speak of. So come along and join us—jazz and pop music from the combos of Eric Harding and Christopher Smith for all to enjoy! Glen Ethier, Department of Music 2018 Canadian Liberal Arts Fair BAnQ (salles M.450 & M.460), November 17 from 12-4PM Dear faculty and staff, I am happy to announce the first annual Canadian Liberal Arts Fair, November 17 from 12-4 PM at the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (salles M.450 & M.460), hosted by the Canadian Liberal Arts Association, an initiative of the Thomas More Institute. The Fair will bring together high school and CÉGEP students who have interests in the Liberal Arts and related disciplines, including philosophy, religion, literature and history, with departments from colleges and universities that may suit the needs and interests of these students. Some students who are actively engaged in reading literature or philosophy may not know what options they have when it comes to post-secondary studies. Montreal has several outstanding programs that can speak precisely to this curiosity. In addition, universities from Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will be in attendance for students who are inclined to discover other parts of Canada while pursuing a Bachelor’s degree. Other students find themselves discouraged from studying in these disciplines because they are unsure what their future career options might entail. In order to address this concern, the Fair will include a panel discussion with three former Liberal Arts students who have found successful and fulfilling careers outside of the classroom: a lawyer working in the Attorney General’s office in Toronto, a CBC radio personality and a co-founder of the College néo-Classique here in Montreal. Finally, the Fair will include a Workshop sponsored by Brila Youth Projects inviting students to participate in the kind of creative and deeply thoughtful conversation that these sorts of disciplines cultivate. The Fair is free and open to the public (students, teachers, parents). While the event will run from 12 to 4PM, the panel discussion will take place from 12:30 to 1:30PM and the workshop from 2:30 to 3:30PM.

  • Social Science Festival Thanks

No formatting or bullets. Photos are welcome. Deadline: 4:00 p.m. on the Wednesday preceding the week of publication. Social Science Festival Thanks Our annual Social Science Festival wrapped up last week. It was a week of varied and highly interesting and stimulating presentations (all delivered fully online/virtually, a first of its kind for the Vanier community)! The primary takeaway from the talks was that community (the festival’s theme) could potentially serve as a solidarity building tool; an instrument that can better equip us to face crises effectively and mitigate and/or reverse course on the discord, division and self- centredness that recent social phenomena seems to have contributed to (phenomena such as the Covid19 pandemic; environmental crises; the rise of populism; crises and concerns of social justice and equity faced by women, the destitute, visible minority and Indigenous groups). All talks were recorded and can now be viewed on VTV’s YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm3yY45tybOx6i7PktEiqPdlOnXvsTd_U. A special thanks to the all the people who helped make the event possible: Kelly MacDonald; Melissa Paradis; Angelo Philippas; Alena Perout; Patti Kingsmill; Bruce Norton; Meiji Estrada; David Scharing-Riendeau; David Abraham; Sydney Ong; Azhar Saïdoo; Rebecca Acone; Jennifer Joseph; Carlos Joseph Avila; David Scott; Jacky Vallee; Marlene Grossman; Alyson Jones and the Vanier College Indigenous Studies Certificate Program; Giovanna Arcuri; Marguerite Corriveau; Janelle Villanueva, Nora Soukiassian, Ivanka Hillel and Zsofia Orszagh.

Have fun doing it. Doctoral thesis Title: Codoped titanium dioxide thin-films for visible light fueled applications: fabrication, characterization, and optimization. Supervisor: Prof. My Ali El Khakani (INRS-EMT) Abstract: Radio-frequency magnetron sputtering was used to synthesize visible-light active nanoscale TiO2:N films. This introduction of NO species formed new VBM-straddling Eg states, lowering the effective optical-gap from 3.2 eV to values as low as 2.2 eV, while maintaining desired crystallinity. Un- fortunately, VO-defect density was seen to increase as a result of this, leading to decreased photocharge lifetimes. To remedy this, an acceptor-donor charge passivated TiO2:WN were developed and synthe- sized. The optimized codoped films were shown to have increased VO formation energies, improved photocharge lifetimes, and decreased lattice strain. The improvement of these properties directly re- sulted in TiO2:WN photoanodes showing a ∼300 % increase in 1.5AM-light driven electro-photocatalytic degradation rates of real-life pollutants when compared to pristene TiO2.

A more focused examination of early childhood education was undertaken. Through the exploration of knowledge, attitudes and perceptions held by high school and college advisors this study was intending to identify the kind of information presented to parents and students as they considered post-secondary options. Despite considerable research in the area of early child development, and the positive implications of high quality education on learning, the profession of early childhood education continues to suffer from an image problem.
