In describing the change to College Council
(Thursday, March 21), Dr.Wootton amplified
the move and explained, "In anticipation

of administrative adjustments that will have
to take place for our expanded operation in
the Fall, Bill Day will be assisting Dr.
Porter in the area of Curriculum and
Instruction.

To do this effectively, Bill is now funct-
ioning as Dean of Curriculum and Don is
Dean of Instruction.

Experience has confirmed that the portfolio
of Curriculum and Instruction is far too
large and too vague in a College of this
size and complexity.

As in the past,Curriculum development should
continue to be initiated at the Discipline
and Departmental level with major input from
the community; faculty and programmers,
through their respective chairmen.

Bill Day is now responsible for co-ordinating
this development on a College wide and
community basis.

On the other hand, the entire field of
developing innovative Instructional
techniques is far too important to leave
dangling as merely a part of a portfolio.
Indeed, the entire area of Professional
Development demands educational leadership
and a mechanism for the appropriate instit-
utional responses that must continue to be
nurtured through individual faculty members,
their Discipline and Departments and, where
applicable, on a College wide basis.

Don Porter is now responsible for co-ordin-
ating this development on a College wide
basis."

This model may alleviate the chronic problem
of "who goes where for what?" ina relat-
ively large organization.

In an earlier meeting, (workshop: Principal's
Council, Tuesday, March 19), Dr. Wootton
emphasised that his participation in the
Executive Committee would be one of over-all

direction related to both internal and
external development of College affairs,

but not as a regular member.
