Two years of preparation in the Department of Child, Family and Community
tudies means integrated curriculum is now a reality. These are the key people

Cammack and Rosemary Love, Community Support Worker; Bob Shebib,
Community Social Service Worker; Jan Humphrey, Visual Language Interpreter
Training; Gary Tennant, Child & Youth Care Counsellor; and Pat Brown, Early

Integrated Curriculum brings
core element to programs

They’re celebrating in the Department of
Child, Family and Community Studies -
with good reason.

After two years of preparation, this Sep-
tember marks the beginning of integrated
curriculum in six programs. It’s a move
forward that benefits students by keeping
future educational options open, and
increasing their job prospects after
graduation.

"People no longer prepare for a life in one
career. They need to be able to move, with
a base of skills that prepares them for a
@ ice: range of work and education
options," says Bev Miller, Director of
Child, Family and Community Studies.

"The concept of career laddering and lad-
dered curriculum increases the students’
ability to leave a program at the certificate
level, go to work, and later return to
complete a diploma. Part-time program
choices will also be available for many
students currently working."

The programs are: Community Support
Worker; Community Social Service
Worker; Early Childhood Education;
Home Support Worker; and Visual
Language Interpreter Training.

Students in these programs take a number
of core courses that allows movement be-
tween programs, permits increased contact
