University of Regina Professors Show Support For FNUC

Location: First Nations University of Canada
URL: http://www.firstnationsuniversity.ca/

University of Regina professors will be joining students and community leaders in their fight for justice.  In a symbolic and tangible show of support U of R faculty will be sleeping over at FNUC on Monday, March 29th, 2010 starting a 7p.m.

The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee and the CAUT Executive have voted to recommend lifting censure of the administration and board of First Nations University.-- Time to follow Advanced Education Minister Rob Norris’s lead and restore funding Indian and Northern Affairs Canada Minister Chuck Strahl.

The reasons that led to censure have been fully addressed by the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, specifically that:

- the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations has dissolved the former Board of Governors and appointed an Interim Board along the lines recommended by the All-Chiefs Task Force;

- The Interim Board has dismissed the former president and the former vice-president of administration and finance;
- The FSIN, the First Nations University and the University of Regina have reached agreement on a four-year transitional arrangement to ensure appropriate financial management.

Stephen Harper, Mr. Prime Minister, empty government apologies are meaningless, harmful and insulting even, when followed by vindictive and short-sighted cuts to core funding leading to the almost certain demise of the First Nations University of Canada.  We cannot change the past, but we, as Canadians, can certainly make positive contributions to the future. Restore the $7.2 million annual grant to the First Nations University, restore the New Buffalo at once.

Seminar: Aesthetic considerations in an environmental education by Phillip Payne

Location: ED228, Teacher Preparation Centre, Education Building, University of Regina
URL:

Dr. Phillip Payne, from Monash University in Australia, will be visiting Regina and Saskatoon during April 10 - 18.  He will be presenting a seminar on Tuesday, April 13 at 2:30 p.m. in the Teaching Preparation Centre, ED 228.  We hope that you can take time to attend as this busy semester draws to a close.  A short bio and information on Dr. Payne's presentation follows.

Bio

Phillip G. Payne works in the Faculty of Education at Monash University. He leads the Movement, Environment, Community (MEC) faculty research group. His interests include the educative dimensions of the philosophy of nature and environmental ethics/ecopolitics as they relate to curriculum and pedagogical development. Phillip also has a keen interest in the philosophy of social sciences and the field of experiential education, the latter of which he has over 30 years of experience in teaching in elementary, secondary and higher education settings. He teaches an undergraduate unit called 'Experiential Education' and has published widely in that area, including a forthcoming book with Amy Cutter- Mackenzie provisionally titled 'Ecologizing education: The real education revolution".

Presentation Title

Aesthetic considerations in an environmental education.
Ethical and political considerations have occupied an important part of environmental education for nearly three decades. There is now some belated interest in incorporating an ecoaesthetics. The seminar will outline (i) a teaching engagement in which I am involved that aims to heighten the 'embodied imaginative' of pre- service teacher educators and (ii) the grounded but still speculative conclusion in a special issue of a journal I am co-editing about the role of the 'irreal' in adding mysterious value to the overshadowed place of meaning-making in environmental education. Participants are encouraged to undertake some 'memory work' and be ready to share their own stories about an always elusive "pedagogy of imagination."

"Technology & Digital Literacy in Teacher Education: Where Does/Should it Fit?"

Alec Couros will be facilitating a series of three workshop/discussions where Education faculty and staff come together to learn about the latest technologies being used in teaching and learning within higher education. We are hoping to provide a forum for open discussion around the affordances and cautions of these tools. This is important given some of the issues discussed at the recent Fall Faculty Seminar, as well as the realities associated with program renewal.

Depending on interest levels, some or all of the sample topics listed will be discussed using descriptive, historical, pedagogical, contextual, and critical lenses:

- Emerging social networking services (e.g., Facebook, Myspace, Twitter)
- Web 2.0 or social tools in teaching and learning
- Blogging and wikis
- Web conferencing using Skype
- Youtube and other video sharing services
- Content filtering in schools
- Privacy, identity and ethics in a digital age
- Cyberbullying, sexting, and other emerging issues in schools
- New digital literacies
- Open education (e.g., open journals, open educational resources, copyleft licenses)
- Use of technology in teacher education programs (teaching, research, service, supervision)

Given the complexity associated with many of these issues in higher education settings, we see this as an excellent opportunity to engage in focused discussion about our practice as teacher educators. Please join us on October 1st.

Dear students of the University of Regina,

Please join Vice-President (Academic) George Maslany and URSU President, Kyle Addison on Tuesday, October 12, 11:30 a.m. RC Multi-Purpose Room to discuss student involvement in the Academic Program Review.  There will be free pizza and Coke products.

The University of Regina's strategic plan, mâmawohkamâtowin: Our Work, Our People, Our Communities, approved in 2009 by the Board of Governors, contained a number of recommendations aimed at fostering excellence in the institution's mandated activities of teaching, research and public service.  One of the key recommendations was for the University to conduct a comprehensive review of its academic programs "Align our array of program offerings to respond to the needs and interests of current and prospective students."

The Vice-President (Academic), Dr. George Maslany, has assumed leadership of this program evaluation initiative, with a view to having an approved report by the end of the Winter 2011 academic term.

Students of the University of Regina are invited to a forum to be held on Tuesday, October 12 at 11:30 a.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room Riddell Centre.  We are looking for your views about what needs to be measured in order to know when a program is working well and what else it might need in order to better meet student needs.  You can do this in person at the Student Forum or online on the Community Consultation page of the
evaluation website
http://www.uregina.ca/presoff/vpacademic/CommunityConsultation.php
Consultation feedback is being collected until October 20, 2010.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Arts Education Students Present a Fundraising Evening

Location: Darke Hall, College Avenue Campus, University of Regina
URL:

POOR STUDENTS, RICH PERFORMANCE:

Arts Education Students Present a Fundraising Evening Showcasing a Wide Variety of Artistic Talents

Trying to get 19 full-time university students to San Francisco is no easy task - in fact, they'll need all the help they can get! "And Now for Something Completely Different," a gala fundraiser presented by these students, will hopefully make the job a little easier.

A Vaudevillian-style show, the gala will feature a rich variety of talents from familiar song and dance to fashion designs a milliner would be proud of. In addition to performances, there will be a myriad of silent auction pieces, including some of the hat designs strutting down the stage's runway. The students will be presenting two nights of repeated performances but be warned: your favourite hat may not be auctioned off until Saturday night's performance (warranting the eager buyer to return once more for another spectacular evening).

The trip to San Francisco is not all fun and games - well, it will be fun - but it is a required component of the Arts Education program at the University of Regina. Students collaborate on destinations, itinerary, travel, and accommodations to help build a positive professional community working towards both real and practical goals. School visits on this trip are a must and help students gain new perspectives on teaching, which develops a crucial critical awareness that will benefit any future teacher. In fact, this trip is termed Professional Learning As Community Experience or more conveniently as P.L.A.C.E. For the trip, students are required to raise all the funds necessary to travel (not a small sum - it's well over $30,000).

"And Now for Something Completely Different" represents a large chunk of that bill and will surely provide entertainment suitable to anyone's tastes. The gala is being held at Darke Hall Friday, January 20th and Saturday, January 21st and is merely $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Don't worry about the babysitter because youngsters under 10 can get in for free! Doors will open at 7pm and don't be late! Get there with enough time to eye up silent auction items, get some treats from the concession, and find a seat to watch something completely different.

If you would like any additional information email Robert Popescul at or Erika Folnovik at .

Included in this list are Ph.D. student, Jody Burnett whose Co-Supervisors are Dr. Scott Thompson and Dr. Jennifer Tupper and our Community-Based Learning Placement Coordinator, Reila Bird-Duesing, who will be convocating with her Master's degree in Education. Reila's Supervisor is Dr. Janice Huber.

While there is only a handful of undergraduates convocating, special recognition will be given to Laura Merritt, NTEP student, who will be in attendance as the recipient of the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation Prize; Laura is graduating with a Bachelor of Education in Elementary Education with Distinction. Brian Manning, Director, Education Programs and Jim Legge from Nunavut Arctic College will be joining Laura on stage at the Ceremonies.

I appreciate your consideration in attending Saturday's event to recognize the successes of all our students.

Talkin About School and Society

Location: La Bodega Restaurant- Upper Level-Banquet Room, 2228 Albert ST, Regina

What are the Aims of Education?
Given the needs and demands of the present and future, what should be the aims of public education?

Almost all societies have debated the aims of education. Yet, there are no final answers in this debate because the answers are always and everywhere enmeshed with the nature and values of a particular society at a particular time. Nevertheless, policy decisions are made, curricula are created, and practices deemed worthy. In whose interest are current decisions being made? How well do current decisions and policies fit with what our society deems as appropriate? What kind of future do we imagine our public education system fitting our students to fulfill?

Format: Join Faculty of Education professors and guests in an engaging conversation about issues affecting our schools. Share your thoughts, concerns, and ideas in an informal atmosphere. Complimentary snacks will be provided (full menu available for individual purchases).
