      they
      have
      just
      completed
     
     
      in
      Grande
      Prairie,
      Alberta.
     
    

    
     
      Four
      years
      ago,
      UPEI
      was
      approached
      by
      a
      School
      Board
      superintendent
     
     
      in
      Alberta
      who
      was
      interested
      in
      having
      a
      Master
      of
      Education
      program
      offered
     
     
      for
      teachers
      in
      Grande
      Prairie.
      The
      school
      system
      had
      been
      unsuccessful
      in
     
     
      getting
      universities
      in
      Alberta
      and
      the
      United
      States
      to
      offer
      on-site
      Master’s
     
     
      degrees.
      Dr.
      Gerry
      Hopkirk,
      Coordinator
      of
      Graduate
      Studies
      in
      the
      UPEI
     
     
      Faculty
      of
      Education,
      worked
      with
      the
      Alberta
      school
      system
      to
      plan
      and
     
     
      deliver
      the
      program.
     
    

    
     
      “Due
      to
      the
      small
      size
      of
      the
      Faculty
      and
      the
      University,
      we
      have
      the
     
     
      creativity
      and
      flexibility
      to
      respond
      to
      alternate
      approaches
      to
      program
      delivery.
     
     
      The
      Registrar’s
      and
      Comptroller’s
      offices
      were
      very
      supportive
      in
      helping
      our
     
     
      Faculty
      of
      Education
      to
      successfully
      implement
      this
      program,”
      says
      Dr.
     
     
      Hopkirk.
     
    

    
     
      UPEI
      organized
      the
      schedule
      so
      that
      Alberta
      teachers
      could
      complete
     
     
      the
      Master’s
      program
      without
      having
      to
      leave
      their
      jobs.
      Unlike
      most
      distance
     
     
      education
      programs,
      which
      are
      solely
      web-based,
      this
      one
      was
      offered
      on-site
     
     
      and
      in
      person.
      Courses
      were
      taught
      on
      weekends
      and
      in
      the
      summer
      when
     
     
      UPEI
      professors
      could
      fly
      to
      Alberta.
      At
      other
      times,
      students
      and
      professors
     
     
      remained
      in
      touch
      through
      email
      and
      other
      internet
      media.
      “This
      program
      is
      a
     
     
      win-win
      for
      all
      concerned

      says
      Dr.
      Graham
      Pike,
      UPEI
      Dean
      of
      Education.
      “We
      are
     
     
      delighted

      The

      have
      been
     
     
      wonderful,
      enthusiastic
      mentors,”
      said
      one
      graduating
      student.
      Another
      stated,
     
     
      “The
      instructors
      were
      truly
      outstanding
      and
      showed
      their
      passion
      for
      learning
     
     
      and
      teaching.
      Their
      compassion
      and
      grace
      are
      contagious.
      Our
      class

      in
      the
      Farmers’
      Market
     
     
      lot
      should
      be
      aware
      of

      Food
      Canada
      (AAFC)
      has
      recently
     
     
      reviewed
      the
      usage
      of
      the
      Farmers’
     
     
      Market
      parking
      lot.
      This
      was
      due
      to
     
     
      safety
      concerns
      caused
      by
      people,
     
     
      primarily
      students,
      crossing
      Belvedere
     
     
      Avenue
      at
      the
      Farmers’
      Market
     
     
      entrance.
      This
      area
      has
      three
      lanes
      of
     
     
      busy
      traffic
      conflicting
      with
      the
      main
     
     
      entrance
      to
      the
      University
      and
      there
     
     
      is
      no
      signalized
      or
      marked
      pedestrian
     
     
      crossing.
      It
      was
      felt
      that
      a
      serious
     
     
      mishap
      was
      very
      likely
      to
      occur
      unless
     
     
      measures
      were
      taken
      to
      restrict
      the
      use
     
     
      of
      this
      parking
      area.
      AAFC
      has
     
     
      recently
      posted
      notices
      informing
      users
     
     
      of
      the
      parking
      lot
      of
      that
      restriction.
