Posted: Tuesday, September 11, 2003 Queen’s-Trent Concurrent Education Celebrates 30 Years Students, faculty, staff and representatives from local school board will meet today to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Queen’s-Trent Concurrent Teacher Education program in the gym of the Gzowski College Argyle Street location, 780 Argyle St. from 5-7 p.m. The event will also serve to kick off the new academic year and welcome everyone back. Agenda: The program’s coordinator, Dr. Roland Laframboise is delighted to be celebrating the successful partnership. "We are very pleased to be celebrating a unique partnership of 30 years between Queen’s University, Trent University and teaching professionals, both locally and throughout Ontario," he said. "The Concurrent Education program combines the resources of a large distinguished university with one of Canada’s outstanding small universities. Students are enrolled in both universities simultaneously and earn degrees from both universities upon the successful completion of their courses. We are proud to have our graduates teaching in all parts of the province, indeed in many countries of the world. It is a tribute to the hard work and creative cooperation between the two universities and the teaching professionals that the program has produced such fine educators for so many years. We look forward to another 30 years, and more, of the Queen’s-Trent Concurrent Education program." In attendance will
be: Queen’s-Trent Concurrent Teacher Education
Program Background History The two Peterborough school boards traditionally host about 75% of the Queen’s-Trent Concurrent Education students in Years 1, 2, & 3 of the Program. To recognize these contributions as well as mark the 30th Anniversary of the Queen’s-Trent Concurrent Teacher Education Program, a Peterborough Host Teacher and Host School award will be announced at the event. Any teacher or school in the Kawartha Pine Ridge D.S.B. or Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic D.S.B. is eligible to be nominated for these awards. The deadline for submission of the nomination letters is January 31, 2004. The awards will be given out each spring. Details about the nomination process and selection committee will be available later in the fall. Host Teacher Award: Teacher Candidates benefit from assistance with lesson planning, from reflecting analysis of student observations and from guidance on classroom management. Local host teachers are exemplary role models for our students. Host School Award: Teacher candidates benefit from the welcoming environment schools create. Obviously, the host teachers who work directly with our teacher candidates are critical to the process, ut so is the leadership of the principal, the friendliness and service provided by the support staff and all of the encouragement and assistance of the teachers who are not acting as hosts. Local Schools create an amazing learning environment for our students. -30- For more information,
