I'm putting out feelers for someone who might be interested in teaching a quarter course in writing for the University of Calgary's long-distance rehab studies program at Douglas College. Rehabilitation Studies has a Community of Learners program that features cohorts of learners in various places in the country. Most are adult learners with diplomas in various aspects of community care who are upgrading to a Bachelor's degree. They take some courses by distance ed and some are taught by local instructors on site. 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?
