2020 AGM Motion 4: Clarify Language for Approval of Training Course Directors

(Bylaw Amendment- Requires ⅔ majority of those voting to pass)

Moved by the Training Approval Committee; Rena Anya Deveza, Jameson James, Heidi Leathwood, Geordie MacMinn, Chris Mincer, Jonathan Salzedo, and Lori Schiff

Whereas, the Training Directors Committee (TDC) has reviewed Article XI: Teacher Training Courses,, Section 2. Requirements for Teachers on a Training Course. A. and expressed interest in clarifying the language in the last paragraph (vii.), requesting the Training Approval Committee (TAC) to review XI, 2.A.vii. for accuracy based on the TAC Rules and Procedures;

Whereas, Article XI, Section 2.A. of the Bylaws refers to the requirements for a new Training Director and the requirements for course reapproval are laid out in Article XI. Section 3. Approval and Reapproval of a Teacher-Training Course. B. Reapproval, the phrase “or reapproval” in paragraph 2.A.vii is not relevant; and

Whereas, the phrase “and no training director(s) or co-training director(s)* shall be appointed by an approved training director” is no longer accurate because both directors and co-directors are approved by the Board of Directors;

Resolved, That Article XI: Teacher Training Courses, Section 2. Requirements for Teachers on a Training Course, subsection vii. be amended by striking “or reapproval”, and replacing “shall be appointed by an approved training director” with “shall be approved”, to read, No teacher-training course shall receive approval and no training director(s) or co-training director(s) shall be approved without satisfying all the requirements of Article XI (Teacher-Training Courses), Section 2. of these Bylaws.
