Hi! This is just a short issue of Reach-out mainly
to give you information on the RREALS mandates that will be sent out and also
to re-establish contact in anticipation of next year. Exactly what I will be
doing is still a mystery even to me but I plan on being around. I continue to
work on programs for the MEQ until June, however as always, you can contact me at ron@csdessommets.qc.ca
To any new ESL teachers, I am looking forward to
meeting you.

RREALS Mandates
As for each year in the
past, RREALS members meet in April to exchange information, receive information
from the MEQ, SPEAQ and other associations but expecially to exchange mandates.
Mandates for some include being on the executive or managing the Web site (my
mandate as a representative for our school board) but most members contribute
documents they have prepared – exams, learning situations and activities or
training material. Here is a list of
the resources that will be sent out to your school or that are available
for a slight charge to your school
