CPS; John Ross, Wingham PS; and. Al. Taylor, Usborne .CPs. Trustee Farnet '. Hicks sat on the committee too, ` as did J. W. Coulter of the board office who was absent ..on , Monday. . It a. was shown that professional ' de+telop'ment is `that which. in any way furthers the professional competence' of the teacher to communicate ...knowledge or to communicate the means by which knowledge is obtained". The teachers' brief pointed out that some opportunities' for. professional • develo.pment require financial backing. Mrs. Golding, who is also the professional devel' pment chairman for the secondary' .school teachers ;in the county, said there is s` of one penny" presently availa! to teachers for an on-going . kind of professional p development in 'Huron. The report noted. there -is $10 per teacher at the elementary level and $25 per. teacher at the tl secondary level for travelling and conventions etc.; and .a total for 411' schools 9f $.36.500 is available for university courses. For short term educational leave an amount of up to -one-halfof one percent of the total teaching salary 'cost for the county set aside. "There are not insignifint amqunts and the board is' to, be complimented- for'-.-., their. forethought,' the report stated.

Special workshops or subject seminars could also be arranged, -.she said, through6-this fund. ' • The discussion showed • that professional development is encouraged by the board, of education- in Huron but that some schools do not take advantage,' of the opportunities. "Where does the push come from?" asked Mollie Kunder, Seaforth. "Is that a board • responsibility?" The coinmittee advised her that it most certainly was not a board responsibility to see to* it that its teachers were concerned about professional development. Tile committee agreed the teachers should be ", concerned about their own' betterment,. and ' should take advantage ,,of any opportunities offered by the - board. R. M.
