Although I don't know whether I'm going to 4C's next year (hope so)... I would really welcome an opportunity to learn from others about their pd programs for tutors/consultants. The bulk of our academic support programming for students is given by part-time contract staff. The WLC runs an in-house pd program that we are always 'tweaking'. Good ideas from elsewhere are welcome!

Most of us who attend the Canadian Caucus of the CCCC's Conference, and the Canadian conferences such as Inkshed, STILHE etc.are programme directors. I'm wondering how each institution handles the professional development of all the part-timers and volunteers who help us keep our programs running? Perhaps some papers presenting models and best practices might be in order? Theresa. Tosh Tachino wrote: > It was nice seeing many of you at 4Cs.
