TO:

DOUGLAS COLLEGE BOARD

 

On March 10, Dr. Gerry DellaMattia held a consultation of Deans and
Bursar on program evaluation. They agreed upon the major elements
of a program evaluation system, as part of the 5-Year Plan process.

On March 10, Dr. Ron Faris of the Ministry, responsible for Academic
and Continuing Education Programs, spent the day at Douglas College.
Among other things, he held preliminary discussions with Dr.
DellaMattia and Mr. Jim Doerr on the possibility of Douglas College
becoming the provincial centre for training in co-operative learning
- a methodology of classroom instruction well suited for post-secondary
and adult education work.

I would like to draw to the Board's attention, the revised date of
the College graduation, which is now targetted for June 3rd.

Internal Matters - Personnel

 

Performance evaluations of administrative personnel are ongoing,
and appear to be working well.

The "scaling" project involving a review of the present ranking and
relationships of administrative personnel on the payscale is also
ongoing. We expect to have a preliminary report in May.
