Chair's Video Message
Hello everyone. As promised, here's a video to kick of the new year. I hope you'll be returning to classes well rested and ready to learn as much as you can about teaching.
In this video I talk about a lot of things, including upcoming workshops, classes held at St. James Church, and developing a learning plan for the Winter term.
I also address concerns about winter driving. Remember that if you chose to commute, one of the consequences of that choice is that you will need to create a strategy to deal with inclement weather. If you are not a commuter, but you have a spare bed or floor space, perhaps you can offer someone in your cohort a place to sleep when the weather turns nasty.
Have a great week. I'm looking forward to seeing you again!
