PROCEDE has a tradition of recognizing members and other individuals or groups who have contributed significantly to the advancement of English-language adult education and/or vocational training in Quebec. As part of an overall strategy to increase visibility for adult education and vocational training in English, the organization has formalized this recognition process (https://procede.ca/recognition/).
This year, four exceptional actors from the English-language educational community have been recognized.
Tracy Rosen
Tracy joined the teams of RECIT at CSSMI as the new and only RECIT National to serve the English community. While the teams at CSSMI are numerous to cover all subjects in AGE, Tracy was one to cover the integration of technology in all curriculum. Her task was to concentrate on the delivery of the resource rather than the content: to provide quality PD on successful pedagogical teaching strategies.
