Calgary Board of Education sets up fine arts task force

by SOFA Fan on Apr.18, 2011, under Updates

SOFA is pleased to advise the Calgary Board of Education has created a fine arts task force to review, “…the philosophy and direction of Fine Arts Education in Alberta with specific focus on the implications and management of the Instrumental Music Program from Kindergarten to Grade 12 within the Calgary Board of Education (CBE).”

Cathy Faber (Superindentent of Learning Innovation) is heading up this task force along with Jane Rogerson (Area 5 Director). In addition, the following people have agreed to be on the task force: Jon Anderson (Finance), Sandra Snow (Purchasing), Christine Davies (Human Resources), Theresa Lewis (Principal, Elementary Schools), Bruce Johnston (Principal, Junior Schools), Jeff Turner (Principal, Senior Schools), Kerry Martens (Fine Arts Teacher), Paul Mulloy (Fine Arts Teacher), Jim Finkbeiner (Fine Arts Teacher), Tammy Watt (Fine Arts Teacher), Lyle Bennett (SOFA Co-chair), Sam Gregory (Grade 12 honors student, SOFA Executive Committee member), Heather Kniss (Parent Representative), and Charlene Lazaruk (Parent Representative).

This task force was set up by Cathy at the end of February, 2011 and meets every Friday afternoon.

Recently, the CBE created a fine arts task force website to keep parents, students, teachers, and the general public informed. Some of the content on the website is still under construction. However, if you are interested in learning more about the task force or reading the minutes from each of the meetings, please click on the following link: www.cbefinearts.org.

We appreciate the support that Cathy Faber has provided in setting up the task force with the goal to enhance fine arts education at the Calgary Board of Education.

Wow! I truly enjoyed this weblog. It could be great according to see how involved a parent can certainly be present in their own child’s lives. Most parents, today, are so concerned with themselves that they don’t actually ask their own children methods school was, nevermind such intrinsic questions as you did above.
