The orientation of the program will be in the area of the commercial buildings and residential complexes. In addition, the program will also serve managers responsible for apartment buildings, private residences and shopping centres. It will recognize experience in the field and where lacking will attempt to develop it within the course content. KINDERGARTEN . On behalf of the Ministry of Education, I am requesting interested faculty members make application to serve on a Kindergarten Curriculum Committee. The purpose of this committee will be to review the existing Kindergarten curriculum, considering the results and recommendations of the 1980 Kindergarten Needs Assessment, and to determine what changes, if necessary, are required in the existing cyrriculum. This committee may, then,be involved in designing curriculum in this area. Successful candidates may serve for a period of two to three years. It is anticipated that the committee will sit nine or ten times during the year, usually for two- day meetings, with the first meeting scheduled for January 1981. It would be appreciated, therefore, if we could receive the applications not later than Friday, December 5,1980. A brief curriculum vitae should accompany each application. Appointments to the committee will be made by the Ministry. Please contact me at 387-5031 (Victoria) if there are any questions. jwaWebs Olver Assistant Director. Curriculum Development Branch
