Weekly Video Message from the Chair: October 5th, Start of Week 6

Hello everyone, there's a lot going on this week. Here's a list of things to remember:

Many of you have been asking about the graduation requirements for the Professional Year program. Follow this link, http://navigator.lakeheadu.ca/Catalog/ViewCatalog.aspx?pageid=viewcatalog&catalogid=20&chapterid=3238&loaduseredits=False If you scroll down the page to Academic Regulations, item #3 lists the requirements.

Tuesday is a Professional Development day, so all classes are cancelled. Meet at the Orillia Opera House (corner of West and Mississaga, one block from Heritage Place) at 9:30 am. The event will continue until 4:30 pm, with a nutrition break.

Wednesday afternoon from 5 to 6:30 pm is another mandatory event, this one a presentation by the Ontario College of Teachers.

The Food Drive, an initiative of the Professional Year Religion class, continues until Friday October 10th, with drop boxes in the Learning Commons.

If you haven't yet joined our Facebook page, please take a look, and if you know any graduates of our program who might have some advice to offer, please ask them to join too. Just search for "My Teaching Journey" from your own Facebook account. Alumni have some very interesting stories to share!

Finally, here's a link to my latest video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xoMqM58pco&feature=youtube_gdata

Have a great week!
