The
current
and
projected
teacher
shortage
has
prompted
a
large
number
of
students
to
seek
teacher
certification.
SFU
and
CNC
have
cooperated
in
offering
the
requisite
courses
for
certification
in
the
Central
Interior.
Because
the
student
leaves
CNC
and
enters
SFU,
some
information
breaks
have
occurred.
The
following,
prepared
in
consultation
with
Judith
McPhie
of
SFU
and
Gordon
Ingalls
of
CNC,
is
intended
to
fill
some
of
the
communications
gaps.

.
This
year
the
PDP
starts
in
January.
Will
there
be
September
or
January
entry
to
PDP
next
year?
The
New
Caltec
Programme
consists
of
four
semesters.
It
begins
in
September,
with
the
first
semester
providing
16
upper
division
credits.
These
upper
division
courses
are
required
by
the
College
of
Teachers
for
teacher
certification.
Education
401402
follows
in
January,
and
provides
a
theoretical
base
and
some
practical
experience.
Education
404
is
theory-based
and
runs
from
May
to
August.
Half
will
be
provided
at
the
Burnaby
campus,
and
half
may
be
provided
in
Prince
George.
This
is
dependent
on
availability
of
professors
and
facilities.
The
following
fall
semester
consists
of
Education
405,
a
long
practicum.
Successful
completion
of
these

Certification
is
granted
upon
application
to
the
College
of
Teachers.

Must
the
76
credits
be
completed
or
in
progress
when
I
apply?
The
application
deadline
for
the
Fall
1991
intake
is
May
15,
199
1
.
The
student
will
be
required
to
have
completed
60
transferable
courses
at
the
100
and
200
level.
This
may
vary
by
one
credit,
and
students
may
take
distance
learning
courses.
The
first
semester
of
the
New
Caltec
programme
is
provided
to
assure
that
1
6
transferable
upper
division
credits
are
available
to
Prince
George
students.
The
New
Caltec
students
need
not
take
all
of
these
if
they
have
acquired
other
transferable
upper
division
credits
at
a
recognized
degree-granting
institution.

.
There
have
been
some
problems
with
the
background
knowledge
required
for
the
courses
offered
this
fall.
Will
students
be
consulted
regarding
the
courses
that
will
be
offered
for
the
academic
semester?
The
academic
semester
is
designed
to
provide
courses
that
will
assist
the
student
who
wishes
to
complete
either
an
Education
degree
or
a
General
Studies
degree.
Therefore,
two
Education
courses
have
been

'A&S2
offered
this
year,
along
with
two
Arts
courses:
English
and
History.
SFU
recognizes
that
there
have
been
difficulties
with
these
.courses,
and
will
be
giving
careful
consideration
to
the
prerequisite
knowledge
of
individual
courses
considered.
They
will
welcome
student
input
in
this
regard.
4.
Math
190
is
offered
at
CNC
as
a
three-credit
course,
at
SFU
as
afour-creditcourse.
When
it
is
transferred,
will
the
student
be
credited
with
four
credits?
This
was
a
simple
administrative
error;
the
student
will
receive
four
credits
for
Math
190.
5.
There
are
concerns
that
UNBC
will
take
funding
away
from
degree
programmes
offered
in
Prince
George.
Will
New
Caltec
be
available
in
here
in
the
9192
academic
year?
It
is
SFU's
plan
to
continue
New
Caltec
for
at
least
2-3
more
years
or
until
the
UNBC
has
its
own
teacher
certification
programme
on
line.
In
responding
to
the
foregoing
questions,
Judith
McPhie
declared
that
SFU's
goal
for
New
Caltec
is
"to
meet
the
needs
of
people
up
North
."
To
that
end
she
welcomes
input
from
students,
expressing
the
belief
that
this
input
will
help
SFU
to
meet
that
goal.

Some
of
the
stuff
they
attempt
to
implant
into
our
collective
brains
at
this
college
is
a
lot
of
malarkey.
Take,
for
instance,
early
childhood
development.
The
faculty
tries
to
tell
us
that
such
things
as
love
and
bonding
are
the
most
important
aspects
for
the
healthy
development
of
a
child.
How
stupid-do
they
think
we
are?
Everyone
knows
that
the
single
most
important
item
in
the
healthy
development
of
all
children
is
peanut
butter.
Their
first
experience
with
art
will
be
smearing
peanut
butter
on
walls,
hair,
windows,
clothing,
furniture
and
the
occasional
slice
of
bread.
After
this
latest
success
they
then
start
to
smear
it
on
their
face,
up
their
nose,
or
behind
their
ears
where
you
don't
find
it
until
their
next
bath.
Peanut
butter
teaches
our
children
social
skills,
like
bartering.
"Trade
you
my
peanut
butter
sandwich
for
your
Wayne
Gretsky
bubble
gum
card."
Peanut
butter
also
teaches
kids
pa
tience.
Same
thing
day
after
day.
They
learn
to
love
consistency.
They
learn
peanut
butter
and
banana,
peanut
butter
and
shredded
carrots,
or,
for,
the
more
exotic,
peanut
butter
and
mustard
or
peanut
butter
and
cheez
whiz.
This
mixing
of
flavors
helps
set
the
stage
for
their
adult
years
when
they
will
have
to
mix
with
a
variety
of
flavors
of
people.
They
learn
to
apply
gentleness
to
all
situations
or
the
cracker
will
break.
The
first
significant
piece
of
music
I
can
recall
is
"Squirrel
peanut
butler
tastes
best
by
far;
Creamy
smooth
to
the
bottom
of
the
jar".
Speaking
of
smooth,
peanut
butter
teaches
children
to
differentiate
between
smooth
and
crunchy,
the
joy
of
lumps
in
your
ooze.
Personally,
I
hate
lumps
in
anything
edible,
like
muffins
or
cakes.
There
is
nothing
worse
than
biting
into
a
warm,
moist
piece
of
cake
and
hitting
a
hard
lump
that
breaks
your
teeth.
You
immediately
have
to
search
the
cake
for
other
hidden
enemies,
or
prepare
for
the
next
lump
like
waiting
for
the
other
shoe
to
drop.
This
is
why
I
believe
the
manufacturers
have
committed
an
unpardonable
sin
by
introducing
a
third
style
of
peanut
butter
known
as
naturally
smooth.
First
of
all,
they
are
deliberately
trying
to
cash
in
on
the
environmental
craze
by
using
the
word
"natural".
I'm
surprised
they
didn't
dye
it
green.
Secondly,
the
lumps
in
the
naturally
smooth
peanut
butter
are
growing.
They
are
slowly
increasing
in
size
until
all
smooth
peanut
butter
lovers
will
eventually
be
weaned
and
they
won't
have
to
grind
the
product
as
well.
Soon,
we
will
have
to
have
standard
measurements
for
peanut
butter,
like
three
quarter
aggregate,
number
eight
sand,
or
pea
gravel.
This
desecration
of
peanut
butter
causes
severe
distress
amongst
the
less
fortunate
of
society
who
must
wear
false
teeth.
They
"As
you
read
this,
5
million
Canadians
are
trying
to
catch
their
breath.
300,000
Canadian
children
are
suffering
with
asthma
and
the
cost
of
treating
lung
disease
is
skyrocketing.
"That's
why
I'm
asking
you,
this
year
more
than
ever,
please
use
Christmas
Seals

your
Lung
