The statement of social relevance of the profession co Guidance counselors Quebec, after a process two years of reflection and exchange, have agreed on a statement of social relevance of their profession. Here is the wording: "The co , for their expertise in the individual-job-training seek wellness personal and professional potential of mobilizing people and helping them to take their place in society throughout their lives. "

College
College:" The MELS has more expertise "
President of the Federation of colleges, Gaetan Boucher accuses the Ministry of Education (MELS) to no longer possess expertise in college. According to Mr. Boucher, the government's decision to replace only two official who retires has resulted in the elimination of skilled employees in Quebec. "There is more expertise at MELS college education. Quite simply, we can not give us a hand to Quebec, "says Boucher. Rather than acting to really improve education college, the MELS bombed colleges requests for accounts, according to Mr. Boucher. "We have requests for reports and accounts on everything, "he said. Mr. Boucher said such a few months ago, the 48 colleges in the province have received a grant of $ 6,000 each to promote healthy lifestyles. "The colleges have different activities such as tasting tofu. Well! So you can imagine that at the end of the year, the department has asked us to write in detail what was done with the $ 6000. I understand that demands accountability for expenditure of millions. But for $ 6000? "Mr. Boucher regrets in particular that the colleges have spent almost the equivalent of the subsidy to the preparation of this famous report. "The system has more expertise on colleges. When you have more expertise, you ask reports! "Says Boucher. In addition to the documents to be submitted to the MELS, colleges are subject to 11 laws, 13 regulations, 95 and 56 appendices budgetary guidelines. In the coming months, the Federation wishes the Department to raise its status. While the Fédération des apprehended last year a decrease of customers, rather it indicates a 2.2% increase in the number of students this year. The increase is particularly marked in the regions of Montreal (3.3%), Laurentides (6%) and Lanaudière (6.6%). Boucher believes the increase is partly due to the difficult economic situation, which encourages young adults to return to school. The fact that the placement rate is 100% in several sectors, such as nursing or respiratory therapy, also attracts many candidates. "But the projection wishing that we lose 30,000 students by 2021 is still valid," he says. Coming to college in the first cohort of students in the reform does not worry unduly Mr. Boucher. "But we will not give them our requirements and we will monitor it closely," he said. The Fédération des also take account of planned forums on education in the fall to discuss the development of technical and vocational and continuing education. Number of students enrolled in college this year: 172 518; 49.6% in the pre-university sector, 45.5% in the technical sector, 57.8% of students are girls and 42.2% of boys. www.cyberpresse.ca/actualites/quebec-canada/education/201008/26/01-4309891-collegial-le-mels-na-plus-dexpertise.php

Learning Disabilities: A emergency, "said the Federation of colleges. "We must adjust it for the 2011 school year," says Gaetan Boucher, president of the Federation of colleges. Faced with a soaring learning disabilities, the Fédération des believes it is urgent. By the autumn of 2011, colleges hope to rely on additional funding to develop more services for these struggling students. www.cyberpresse.ca/le-soleil/actualites/education/201008/25/01-4309820-troubles-dapprentissage-une-urgence-dit-la-federation-des-cegeps.php

Learning Disabilities : The hot topic in college. It day of term today in the Quebec CEGEP. Already last week, the Cégep de Sainte-Foy, students came to buy their textbooks. Skyrocket: Concerns are high, since in recent years, students who suffer from various learning problems are becoming more numerous in the college system. The figures vary according to the sources, but the trend remains the same. According to the Federation of colleges, their number has more than doubled in two years, from 426 to 1071 students. But according to the Commission on Human Rights and Youth Rights (CDPDJ), the number of cases has skyrocketed from 860 to 4309 in four years. www.cyberpresse.ca/le-soleil/actualites/education/201008/22/01-4308780-troubles-dapprentissage-le-sujet-de-lheure-au-cegep.php

collegiate Homecoming: legal obligation " accommodation. The colleges have a legal obligation to accommodate a student with a disability. But these adjustments have to go far? Many gray areas remain. The question concerned students, parents and principals of colleges, which were likely to contact the Commission on Human Rights and Youth Rights (CDPDJ) on this subject. To meet these many requests for information, CDPDJ set up a work table comprising twenty partners in the field of education, to submit recommendations to the colleges. "The college system has been very proactive in this area, but we want to do an inventory to properly identify the situation," said Daniel Ducharme, researcher and head of the CDPDJ folder. Over the years, various legal notices have confirmed that once the student has graduated from high school, colleges must implement measures to alleviate the disability, whether physical or neurological. But other questions remain. "What measures can be put in place to help a student to pass the uniform examination in French? How far will the accommodation requirements for graduation? If skills can not all be acquired, is that a student could graduate restricted? How to ensure that service levels will be the same for a college to another? "Lists Ducharme. CDPDJ should publish its recommendations early next year. www.cyberpresse.ca/le-soleil/actualites/education/201008/22/01-4308781-rentree-collegiale-obligation-legale-daccommodement.php

Learning Disabilities in college: the tip of the iceberg. students experiencing learning disabilities are becoming more prevalent in colleges. And this is just the beginning, "warns Gerald Boutin, a professor at the University of Quebec in Montreal specializes in school integration. The number of cases will increase further this year with the arrival of students in college reform, says he. Since the beginning of the reform, students with learning disabilities or coping were more integrated into mainstream classes, both at primary and secondary, said co-author of Inclusion or Illusion? Pupils in regular classes: challenges, limitations and conditions. "With the current reform, we went even further integration. And students who arrive in colleges this year have not experienced the repetition, "he recalls, because the Department of Education has waited several years to fix this. "It is normal that students with special needs are more likely to knock on doors of colleges. We did not see it coming, "he said. However, college teachers are not remedial, said Mr. Boutin. Many do not even have training in pedagogy, as it is not mandatory. "The teachers feel helpless," he said. Furthermore, the integration of these students to the college system raises several questions, particularly regarding the quality of degrees. "There is a likelihood of graduation at a discount. We want to give it a chance and I'm not against it, but there must be limits. You can not make everyone successful.

Eight ways to facilitate the passage of secondary college. The new college students from the reform are not guinea pigs supports the Quebec Federation of College Students. The Federation of College Students is tired of hearing described as guinea pigs or lost generation students from the reform. She believes they could even be more skilled than their predecessors in some areas, but still offers the means to facilitate their transition to college. www.cyberpresse.ca/le-soleil/actualites/education/201008/23/01-4308994-huit-solutions-pour-faciliter-le-passage-du-secondaire-au-cegep.php

Back to School At the dawn of a new school year, colleges in the region belie forecasts, which suggested a dramatic decline in admissions Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean . Apart from the Cégep de Saint-Félicien, where one expects a slight decrease of 4%, all other institutions in the region expect to record an increase this year. In a period of demographic decline in secondary schools, the performance of the four colleges is almost a miracle, one might say. "No," replied the director of Alma College, John Paradis, who expects more than 1,300 students Monday morning. Like its counterparts in Chicoutimi and Jonquière, John Paradis believes that the current situation is the fruit of many efforts in recent years. In the case of Alma, for example, the number of students enrolled in natural sciences from 75 to 125 in the space of four years, particularly through the promotion of this field of study pre-university. The establishment of a program tailored to students who have not completed high school having failed their courses in French, has also achieved impressive results. "For us, the changes to the scheme of college are not a problem, however. Last year we hosted 21 people who failed their high school French. Under the new rules, they were expected to graduate within the first session. We have therefore gathered inside a panel, then they have proposed a schedule including a French course specifically dedicated for this clientele. 19 of these 21 people have finally accepted the challenge and were able to continue their college education, "says Jean Paradis. In Jonquière, the director Michel Gravel discusses the coming year with equal enthusiasm. Beyond students of 3200 should in fact pass through the gates of the facility next week, not counting some 225 people registered at the Centre for Studies of Charlevoix and another 200 who will attend the NAD Centre, based in Montreal. These two institutions are affiliated with the Cégep de Jonquière. In an interview, Michel Gravel focuses on foreign students, which will be about 75 this year Jonquière. This is a historic high for the institution. "These are 75 students from 12 to 14 countries and are spread over 22 programs. But what is most interesting is that many of them are enrolled in programs such as less popular, such as chemical engineering or industrial engineering. Their contribution allows us to maintain these programs, "said Director of the Cégep de Jonquière. Cégep de Chicoutimi, the communications coordinator, Eric Emond, expected to increase from 150 to 300 students this year, which will swing the number of students around 2800. The head supports that the dynamism of the institution's recruitment is causing this increase. He also stressed that more and more jobs require 1 December in the years to come. "Our enrollment programs are always popular, he puts in relief. For example, we recorded 202 applications in pre-hospital emergency care, then we can only accommodate about thirty students. For flight training, we received 373 requests, "he says. Eric Emond says that other programs, historically more marginal, show significant growth this year. This is particularly the case for training in forestry, which has suffered effects of the forestry crisis. "It's very encouraging," he said. This year, we have a fortnight of registration in forestry when we had trouble attracting more than four people. For years, we have nevertheless supported the program at the request of companies, "says Eric Emond. Cégep de Saint-Félicien, lower customer under 4% is not dramatic. According to school director, Gilles Lapointe, the situation was predictable since it is due to the declining population in the area high schools. Moreover, it is in the pre-university programs that was a decrease enrollment. Technical programs for their part, experienced a slight increase in popularity. Cégep de Saint-Félicien should receive about 1,050 students next week, with the exception of some 130 people registered at the Centre of Chibougamau, affiliated to the institution. www.cyberpresse.ca/le-quotidien/201008/20/01-4308390-rentree-scolaire.php

Back to School in Québec colleges. No disaster this fall. in contact for two weeks with the students forming the first cohort after the reform to enter college, the professionals of the Federation Professional Staff College (FPPC-CSQ) present a first observation that these students are no different from those that preceded them, if they had different backgrounds, and there is probably no disaster plan for this Fall in Quebec colleges. "They are neither worse nor stronger than previous students. Consider the disaster would mean that staff and secondary teachers did not know they would attend the college! I do not consider that they were only performers of all directives of the ministry! ", Says president of the FPPC-CSQ, Bernard Berube. www.fppc.csq.qc.net/index.cfm/2, 0,1661,9342,0,0, html?

The meeting of new and revivals . Almost everyone has questioned whether these youths are ready to go to college, with the level of knowledge and methodological rigor needed to hope to succeed. Many have also questioned whether the college community was ready to welcome them ... we saw any response: most recently, a return to some confidence in songs like "Not as good but different" (La Presse 08-24/A8_FECQ), or "End ready for college" (La Presse 08-23/A17_une mother about her son). www.lescegeps.com/infolettre/archives/2010-08-30

French exam for prospective teachers: questions posted on Facebook. Only 25% of undergraduate students Teaching successful the first time the TECFEE. To obtain a teaching certificate, you must be at least 70% with this review. Exasperated by the Certification Test in French for teaching writing (TECFEE), they find too difficult, future teachers in Quebec have created a Facebook page where they disclose several questions in this test supposed to be secret. Only 25% of students in the Bachelor of Education succeed the first time the TECFEE. To obtain a teaching certificate, you must be at least 70% with this review. With the Facebook page, the students hope to "create a word bank to have a good note in the vocabulary "of the test. This initiative is a thorn in the Ministry of Education, which hitherto jealously protects the contents of the test. According to the Facebook page called names and phrases can be found in the TECFÉE, the test can for example ask the candidates to define "point blank" and "gather laurels" and the words "harass", "ilk" and "twist". A test divided into two parts. Mandatory since last fall, the TECFEE is composed of two parts: an application drafting a text of 350 words, and the other consists of 60 questions on grammar, punctuation, grammar and vocabulary. It is this last part that particularly rage students. Sebastian is studying to teach high school. It has passed the TECFEE only his third attempt, after failing each time to the vocabulary section. "This review is nonsense. We do not evaluate the French skills of future teachers, "he said. In one of my exams, I was asked to define shock the bourgeoisie and the dogs bark, the caravan passes. We will never use such expressions in our practice! "I was asked to define idiom, steak, poor ... We are asking for definitions of words harmless, unused in the language, "says Sebastian. Centre director of initial teacher training at the University of Montreal, Pascale Lefrançois, reply that it is important that future teachers have the vocabulary. "But how to determine which words are relevant for a teacher to know? she asks. Even if a word is not commonly used, it does not mean that we should not know. "Failures that are costly. But according to Sebastian, it is clear that the "vocabulary" of TECFEE should be changed. Especially since these multiple failures are costly to students: Move test costs $ 80 ($ 40 per game). If unsuccessful, students must complete a refresher course which costs about $ 200, says Sebastian. "Without this examination, you can not teach. It does everything to pass. But it's expensive! "He complains. Sebastian is not alone in his boat. According to latest data, 67% of students at the University of Sherbrooke and 48% of those UQAM failed the French test at their first attempt. Initially, the third failure would result in the suspension TECFEE curriculum for a year, but universities have changed their rules. Now The fourth failure causes a permanent stay. Quebec universities have known since the early summer that the information flows in TECFEE Facebook. Marie Nadeau, a professor teaching French at UQAM, believes that this will MELS to question its review. "That is clearly a problem for the validity of the test. We have no power over social networks. Should we abolish the section vocabulary? We must think about. "Nadeau confirmed that content TECFEE is secret. "Even I've never seen!" She said. The new Facebook page changes the game. But Ahissia Ahua spokesman MELS estimates that information flow is not problematic: "There is a bank of questions and several versions of TECFEE." According to feedback from users of Facebook, it seems that some questions come in several versions of the exam. "Many thanks for all the information. All words ending up in my exam this morning had been mentioned in this group! "Says one student. www.cyberpresse.ca/actualites/quebec-canada/education/201008/26/01-4310164-examen-de-francais-pour-les-futurs-enseignants-des-questions-publiees-sur-facebook.php ; Example on Facebook www.facebook.com/photo_search.php?oid=120693951285015&view=all

No more male teachers in elementary school. In Quebec, only 12% of primary teachers are men. And if you do not count the physical education teachers or English, the percentage of men down to 8%. And the situation is not likely to improve: this year, the proportion of men enrolled in the Bachelor of Education primary is low. At the University of Quebec at Montreal, 241 women and only 19 men were enrolled in the Bachelor of Primary Education in June, roughly the same numbers as in 2008. This stagnation is also seen at the University of Sherbrooke (19 men enrolled) and the University of Montreal (twenty entries). Doctoral student in educational sciences at the University of Montreal, Simon Lamarre addresses this lack of men in teaching. The phenomenon is most pronounced in Quebec than in Ontario (20% of male teachers in primary education) and France (27%, preschool included). According to Mr. Lamarre, various factors repel men who are considering a teaching career: "The low social prestige of the profession, low pay, negative perceptions of the teaching profession and the environment are few female factors.

The world of professional sports includes a variety of fields. While the media have familiarized us with sports teams and the games they argue among themselves, the work of those involved in the backstage area often goes unnoticed.
