Doug,
i am a doctoral candidate in the Faculty ofEducation at SFU, and janet
giltrow ismy senior supervisor, and I am jsut now finishing teaching the
writing course tha Rick Coe developed (Eng 371 - Writng Theory and
practice) I have also served as the course marker for an on-line
compostion course for teachers of writing through the Faculty of Education
and theCentre for Distance Education at Simon Frasser University.
Your course sounds interesting ( reflective practice) - with community
based care - My MA thesis explored the politics of "writing up" in a
mental health boarding home and in that document I explored the need for a
critically reflexive awareness about institutional textual practices.
My dissertation is surrently exploring the development of a "reflexive
genre" with a group of Feminist Literacy workers who wrote and shared a
"travelling journal" across a range of geographical and institutional
settings.
if you think I would be a suitable candidate - I would be pleased to pass
along my CV.
cheers
Kathryn Alexander

>Rehabilitation Studies has a Community of Learners program that features

>A Vancouver cohort will be starting this January at Douglas College.
>One of the courses that students will be taking is called "Reflective
>Practice in Community Rehabilitation," a course that--guess
>what--encourages students to reflect on the meaning of "practice" in all
>its forms. It is formally paired with a quarter course in writing,
>Academic Writing 301, offered under the auspices of the U of C Effective
>Writing program. The content of the reflective practice course provides
>the occasion for writing (and researching etc) in the ACWR course. Very
>WID.

>So now we need someone who would like to pick up a few bucks
>(approximately 2000 of them, I believe) for teaching the course this
>January to April. Instruction is concentrated into chunks of time once
>a month. There would be some flexibility in timing to suit the
>instructor's other obligations.

>Anyone out there interested, or know somebody who would be interested?
>Judy, Rick, Janet, do you know any good part-time people who could use
>some extra work?
