Summer Semester Courses,
1972
RATIONALE
General Reasons:
The Faculty of Education is seeking authorization for
?
mounting of a
limited number of courses in May-June period for the following reasons:
1)
Two outstanding visiting professors will
?
be teaching
?
in the
July-August Summer session and much greater use of their
expertise could be made by concomitantly assigning these
courses
?
in the May and June period.
?
This would have the effect
of making their expertise available to a greater number of Simon
Fraser students without excluding the experienced teachers who
may wish to register for their courses
?
in the July-August session.
2)
Some faculty members
?
in the Faculty ofEducation will
?
be offering
courses
?
in the July-August Summer session and the provision of
courses
?
in May and June period would make possible a balanced
workload of 8 contact hours throughout the Sumer rather than
4 ?
in May ad June and
?
12 ?
in July-August.
3)
It ?
is
?
the ?
intention of the Continuing ?
Education Division to
.
recommend that ?
regular students be permitted to enroll
?
for courses
in the July and August session.
?
The provision of a moderate
number of courses in May and June would enable some such students
to balance their workload.
4)
In professional ?
course work the provision of
?
intensive courses
involving a team of resource people and full
?
time commitment on
the part of participants may be superior to a more extended
experience e.g.
?
the McQueen Lake experience in environmental
?
studies
and outdoor education last Summer proved to be a most productive
learning situation for ?
the teachers
?
participating.
?
A parallel ?
kind
of experience ?
integrating the curriculum in the elementary school
could be provided
?
in May and June by
?
coordinating specific sections
of PDC. ?

The faculty team would use the two courses to deal with
integrating the curriculum in the elementary school. The
May-June time period would permit classes drawn from
local elementary schools to be used as an integral
part of the courses.

This course will be taught by Professor Sylvia Ashton-Warner
who will be teaching the same course for experienced teachers
during the Summer session, July-August. Her intensive:
workshop approach lends itself well to the shorter period with
increased hours.

Directed Study: Music in the Elementary School
Provision of this course in May and June will enable us to
retain the services of an outstanding instructor for a
shorter period than would otherwise be required. P.D.P.
students' demand is high for the course and the nature of
the course is such that the standard will not suffer by.
compressing the time.

Special Topics: Human Relations Skills in Teaching
Dr. Charles Truax will be teaching this course in July and
August for experienced teachers and it is desirable to
retain his services for the entire semester in order to
provide the course for P.D.P. students.
The course is rigorous and stresses skill development under
controlled feedback conditions. Some advanced reading will
be recommended and it is not anticipated that the quality
of the course will suffer as a result of offering it in a
two month period.
