Clinton News-Record, 1985-5-15, Page 23Women in the 80s
Each Tuesday in April, the Huron Women
Teachers' Association sponsored a course
on Professional Growth and Self-
Developznent. This course was offered at
Victoria Public School, Goderich. "Women
in the Eighties", the theme of this year's
course, featured women's professional con-
cerns in various areas of communication,
media, law and the Arts.
"Key Components of Communication"
was at the centre of Victoria Corbett's
Federated Women's Teachers Association
of Ontario presentation on the opening
night. By studying one's own personal
methods of communication, one was able
then, to see what the basis is for effective
communication.
One of the professional areas that has
come a long way in accepting women as
equal, is the media. Phyllis Bennett from
CFPL-TV, spoke about problems and con-
cerns that affect women's success in the
media. She feels that women have had an
uphill struggle in being accepted by the
media, especially television, because of the
emphasis placed on appearance and age.
Goderich lawyer Norm Pickell, gave the
teachers an extensive insight into the rights
of women. As Section 15, the equality section
of the Charter of Rights became effective
April 17, 1985, this session was most ap-
propriate.
Mona Mulhern, a Goderich artist, reveal-
ed a personal message to the teachers,
discussing her problems and concerns about
becoming accepted as a professional artist.
Her slide presentation created much discus-
sion and as well, represented many years of
dedicated work.
People who are familiar with the Blyth
Theatre, know about the amount of ground
work that makes the end product possible.
Representing the theatre that evening were
Katherine Kaszas, Artistic Director, Bren-
da Doner, General Manager and Linda
Lentz, head of fund raising.
The White Carnation, Holrnesville, was
the site of the wind-up session. As a special
feature, Alma Westlake and models from
"Colours" in London demonstrated how col-
or and style can "make you or break you".
Mrs. Cela Sloman and her daughter
Margaret, from Clint(;n, were dinner
speakers. Although some in attendance had
seen the School on Wheels in Clinton, many
were not familiar with CN Car No. 15089.
The background information and in-
teresting stories that Margaret related ein-
phasized the importance of this piece of
local history.
Thanks was expressed to the members of
the Huron Women Teachers' Association
status committee - Joan Perrie, Eleanor.
Scott and Alma Westlake, for organizing the
Personal Growth and Self Development
Course.
Situation in secondary
schools to be studied
By Stephanie Levesque
The needs of technical programs in Huron
County secondary schools will be looked at
with an eye to getting more provincial
dollars.
At Huron County board of education's
May 6 meeting, trustees heard and approv-
ed a request from director of education Bob
Allan for the technical study.
Allan's request calls for one staff member
to study the current situation in Huron
secondary schools and how they can be
brought within ministry of education
guidelines.
There will also be an evaluation of family
studies' and industrial arts in the elementary
schools.
"We've studied technical, education quite
a few times. Is this another'exercise in futili-
ty?" questioned trustee John Elliott.
Allan said the idea is to put forward a pro-
posal to the provincial government to up-
date technical studies. The director was
basing his request on Premier Frank
Miller's election proposal "Enterprise On-
tario".
Huron's action, will give it a head start
towards Mr. Miller's objective of providing
funding for school training programs.
Although Allan said he didn't know what ef-
fect the outcome of the provincial election
would have on ..Enterprise Ontario, the
board will go ahead with the study.
He said either a principal or vice-
principal will be used for the study. Allan
stressed this is not an add>on position.
Over 250 people took part in a Teachers Professional Development Evening in Goderich
on May 3. Ken Weber (left), professor of psychology at the University of Toronto was the
featured speaker. He is pictured here with Pat Allen, Chairperson for the Elementary
Professional Development LPD) Committee and Ralph Wareham, Chairperson, Secon-
dary PD Committee.

Professional and personal development was
the theme of a series of workshops held
recently in Goderich for women teachers in
Huron 'County. One session focussed on per-
sonal style, demonstrated by Alma
Westlake and her assistant from Colors, a
London based business.
Coordinator
to be hired
The Huron County Board of Education
will hire a half-time affirmative action co-
ordinator for the 1985-86 school year.
The school board approved this measure
at its March 6 meeting in keeping with, a
ministry of education program in support of
affirmative action for female employees.
The ministry will reimburse a school
' board up to 75 per cent of the cost of employ-
ing a co-ordinator to a maximum of $20,000
in the first year and $18,000.in the second.
In . its decision to hire a co-ordinator at
about $28,695 4 which will cost the local tax-
payers almost $8,000 - the school board
made a policy statement.
This"l;tatement announces the board's in-
tention to undertake an affirmative action
program for its female employees "to diver-
sify their odeupational distribution within
the system and to eliminate any identified
barriers to their employment opportunity".
It will be the co-ordinator's job to collect
information on employment policies and
procedures, • receive comments from all
employee groups and, by February of next
year, file a report with recommendations to
the school board and the ministry.
Trustee Frank Falconer said he saw no
deed to hire a teacher for this position when
it is basically a secretarial job.
Director of education Bob Allan said while
there are some secretarial duties, the role
calls 'for someone with professional status
because besides the data collection there is
a need to evaluate the data and make
recommendations.
Goderich artist Mona Mulhern 'spoke about her struggle to become recognized as a pro-
fessional artist to women at communications workshops sponsored by the Huron Women
Teacher's Association. The six week course was entitled Women in the '80s. It, looked a
professional growth and sell development.
