HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1987-03-04, Page 5Tributes, flowers and gifts were bestowed on Jean Cox on February 27 as co-workers at the Clinton Public Hospital bid the former director of nursing a fond farewell. Jean has retired after working more than 35 years at CPH. Former administrator Doug Coventry Librarian wante d By Wilma Oke The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board is advertising for a qualified Language Arts -Media (Librarian ) Consultant effective Sept. 1, 1987. This is an appointment with a system perspective and system responsibilities for a three-year term (renewable). The suc- cessful candidate will plan and implement a quality library centre and assist schools with library and language arts programs. The trustees and teachers under the jurisdiction of the board, have agreed to put in place a co-operative five-year plan that will put library resource personel on staff at each school and provide each classroom teacher with one-half day per month of in - school teacher planning time. The board over the last eight years made significant improvements by constructing a number of. new libraries, conunitting addi- tional dollars to the purchase of library materials and the hiring of a System Librarian Resource Teacher. Centrally bas- ed resources such as video programs and in- dividual classroom kits are now available through the library centre located at the Board Office in Dublin. The availability of these resources has helped improve pro- grams in the 18 schools under the Board's jurisdiction. Materials are delivered weekly to the schools via the Board's courier service. The plan results from what was a strong conviction on the part of board administra- tion, trustees and teachers that the introduc- tion of Library Resource Teachers in every school will permit the provision of more specialization in the teaching of Library and related research skills and create more op- portunities to meet individual needs of students. The allocation of teacher resource time will vary according to size of school. William Eckert, director of education, said: "By allocating teacher librarian time to every school in the system and at the same time providing classroom teachers with meaningful blocks of planning time, there is no doubt that children will benefit. It is a much needed and significant improvement." Mr. Eckert acknowledged that "the will- ingness of teachers and trustees to cooperate and make a commitment to a five-year plan, that will be consistent from year to year, will lead to the successful im- plementation of the Ministry of Education document, Partners in Action," The commitment for the provision of "Planning Time" at the elementary level commencing September 1. 1987, was made by both the Board and teachers' negotiating teams for a time period agreed to average 30 minutes a week for each classroom teacher and this rould be organized in blocks of time which equals the same. It is projected that additional staffing could be 5.3 to 6.0 teachers with a projected cost of $185,000 to $210,000 respectively.
