April 26-28, 2013 The changes for the mentorship program are in regards to the application procedures. The goal is to make the application as clear and succinct as possible. Success criteria have been included in the application process. This terminology has replaced the former rubrics. The expectations from the video lesson and the lesson plan have now been separated. Some clarifications have been added regarding all the requirements on the video lessons submitted. Action: Cathy will send revised guidelines to Joanne for posting on the P & P. Changes have been made to the Endorsement and the Mentorship Committee section E and F regarding the length of term of the committee members. The mentorship committee members felt it may be more useful to have two smaller subcommittees that would each be well rounded. If there are questions regarding an application this could then be addressed with the entire committee. IIIM5: Canadian Orff Schulwerk Courses/Canadian Clinicians List Page 6
