Position Opening

Well, after 11 years of working together, my partner, LaDonna has decided to fulfill her goal to teach at the college level. She will be moving to Baltimore in a month or so. That leaves her position open. The ad was in the Globe yesterday.
I will miss her. :(

Thursday Morning 6/26/08

Today some of us attended 3 very useful programs. The first was about the Human Services Academy at Diman Voc. I have the PowerPoint for it but I haven't figured out how to link it. (but I will :))

The second was about the Paid Feeding Program by Candace Bracken from Greater Lawrence Tech. She made sence of a confusing topic. This also generated lots of discussion as to when the feeding program was taught. I will add some of the links that she provided.

The last presentation was given by Sharon Grundel from the Mass AHEC Network. She gave a recap of the April Conference and anticipates that there will be another Conference sometime in November. Watch for more information as soon as I get it.

Conference At Assabet

Hello to all.

While at the conference here at Assabet, I was talking to fellow Health Occupations Instructors. Because she was new into the arena of vocational education, she wished that there was a web site that she could go to and get information or ask questions.
Coincidentally , I had just been to a session on how to make your own blog.
Hmmmm.

What I hope to do is, over the summer, put as much information that I can about the CNA guidelines. I would like to invite all of you to add information, and post comments. Maybe this could be a way of communicating with each other collectively and not individually via e-mail. If I have a question, perhaps you do too. Anyway, I hope you will all help with this endeavor.
