Raising awareness

In April, College staff continued to spread the word to parents about the role it plays in protecting students. Information displays could be found at the Durham District School Board’s Parents as Partners Symposium, the Toronto Baby Show, the Mama Expo & Fam Jam in Windsor, the Ottawa Parent and Child Expo and the BabyTime Show in Mississauga, Ont.

AQ institute

Last February, the College facilitated an AQ Institute for course developers on holistic and inquiry-based Additional Qualification (AQ) course design. To help establish or review guidelines for AQ courses, the College facilitates institutes, focus groups, open space consultations, online surveys and more to collaborate with a diverse group of stakeholders.
