Farewell

The Faculty extends farewell and best wishes to Dr. Jennifer Tupper (Dean) and Dr. Ken Montgomery (Associate Dean, Research and Graduate Studies), who will be moving on to new Dean positions at the University of Alberta and the University of Windsor, respectively.

Farewell and best wishes to Dr. Paul Hart and Dr. Marilyn Miller who are entering their retirements after many years of service to the University of Regina.

 

We wish them all the best as they embark on the next exciting chapter of their lives, and we express gratitude to each of them for their years of service to the Faculty: their research, scholarship, participation in collegial governance along with their commitment to teaching, and their work with students, all of which exemplifies the University motto “As one who serves.”

The Faculty of Education, along with partners SUNTEP Regina and YNTEP (via Skype), gathered to celebrate student success on March 7, 2017. The organizing committee from the Student Program Centre, Dr. Val Mulholland and Wanneta Martin, invited faculty from SUNTEP, YNTEP, and the Faculty of Education program chairs and student societies to forward names of students who have made contributions to learning and to leadership in the Faculty of Education through scholarship, activism, and engagement in coursework.

Dean Jennifer Tupper brought greetings, reminding students that their successes reflect the motto of our faculty: Inspiring and Transforming Education.

SUNTEP Regina’s new Michif 100 course was celebrated at the event. Coordinator Janice Thompson spoke to the uniqueness of the SUNTEP Regina program, being the first post-secondary institution to offer such a course.

The new Arts Education program exhibited a commemorative piece by artist and second-year student Molly Johnson.

Voices From the Engraver: A Travelling Exhibition

Voices from the Engraver: A Travelling Exhibition
Hosted by La Cité universitaire francophone and produced by the Canadian Museum of History and the Bank of Canada Museum

La Cité universitaire francophone with the contribution of Faculty of Education is hosting a travelling exhibition from the Bank of Canada Museum: Voices from the Engraver. The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday, December 12, 2016 until Wednesday, January 25, 2017 in the Rotunda of the Language Institute Building at the University of Regina.

Did you know that Bank of Canada banknotes were bilingual (English-French) long before the introduction of the Official Languages Act? Did you know that you’re paying for your meal with true works of art?

Come discover this exhibition to learn more about these fascinating subjects. You’ll discover the creative process, technical expertise and artistic genius behind each series of Canadian postage stamps and banknotes, from design to issue. You’ll also discover how the illustrations on banknotes can lead to a better understanding of linguistic minority situations and celebrate Canada’s Francophone, Anglophone and First Nations cultures.

This exhibit is aimed at children, students, and adults. The works of art will surely be of interest to scholars across all disciplines. Numerous interactive activities and game contests will make your visit even more enjoyable! Please note that I will be presenting my way of using bank notes iconography at 3:00 pm, on Monday December 12, 2016 at the Rotunda. Everyone is welcome.

Exposition itinérante La gravure : un art à découvrir
présentée par La Cité universitaire francophone,
produite par le Musée canadien de l’histoire et le Musée de la banque du Canada.

La Cité universitaire francophone en partenariat avec Faculty of Education accueille une exposition itinérante du Musée de la Banque du Canada : La gravure : un art à découvrir. L’exposition sera ouverte au public du lundi 12 décembre 2016 au mercredi 25 janvier 2017*, à la Rotonde du Language Institute Building de l’Université de Regina.

Savez-vous que les billets de la Banque du Canada étaient bilingues (anglais-français) bien avant la mise en place de la Loi sur les langues officielles ? Savez-vous que vous payez votre repas avec de véritables œuvres d’art?

Venez découvrir cette exposition pour en apprendre davantage sur ces sujets fascinants. Vous découvrirez le processus créatif, le savoir-faire technique et le génie artistique à l’origine de chaque série de timbres et de billets de banque canadiens, depuis la conception jusqu’à l’émission. Vous découvrirez également comment les illustrations des billets de banque peuvent aider à mieux comprendre la situation linguistique minoritaire et célébrer les cultures francophones, anglophones et autochtones du Canada.

Cette exposition s’adresse aux enfants, étudiants et adultes. Ces pièces d’art peuvent intéresser les professeurs quelque soit le domaine d’expertise. De nombreuses activités interactives ainsi que des jeux-concours rendront votre visite des plus enrichissantes !

Prière de noter que je vais présenter ma façon d’utiliser l’iconographie des billets de la banque du Canada lundi 12 décembre 2016, à 3 :00 pm, à la Rotonde. Vous êtes tous et toutes les bienvenus d’y assister.

Inaugural UR Educators Event for New Students

An inaugural UR Educators Event was held on September 29, 2016 to officially welcome new Education students to the teacher profession. New students heard inspirational talks from Dean Jennifer Tupper, University of Regina President and Vice-Chancellor Vianne Timmons, Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation Senior Staff Administrator Rob Lehne, and Regina Public Schools Deputy Director Mike Walters. The  speakers deliberated on all that one can become as a teacher, the difference one can make as a teacher, and the responsibility one has as a teacher and role model for youth. New students received a professional pin and pledge card from Dean Jennifer Tupper and Associate Dean of Student Services and Undergraduate Programs Valerie Mulholland. The students then signed the poster to signify their willingness to take on all that the teaching profession entails. The poster will be framed and exhibited near the Student Program Centre. After a group photo, the participants read aloud from their pledge cards and then enjoyed some refreshments.img_0671

The organizing committee: Dean Jennifer Tupper, Associate Dean Valerie Mulholland, Student Program Centre Manager Nicole Glas, Communications Officer/Publications Manager, Shuana Niessen and Associate Dean’s Assistant Wanneta Martin, who as a new hire came late to the organizing committee, but in the words of the Associate Dean, “hit the ground running, making significant behind-the-scenes contributions to the event.”
