Changes to the Teaching IN French Task Force
August 28th, 2025
This fall, to comply with Law 14, Dawson is offering specific education, complementary and Humanities courses in French. We want to recognize the hard work and courage of the teachers who have taken on the challenge of teaching in French this first semester. Chapeau!
The Teaching in French Task Force is back this year with a team of three French teachers and one pedagogical counsellor. We want to thank the outgoing members for their innumerable contributions and the resources they created: Jeff Gandell, Cathy Roy, Monica Lopez and Einat Idan. We also want to welcome Laëtitia Desanti who will bring her expertise from Programme d’aide en français (PAF) to those programs offering internships and technical courses in French.
We look forward to supporting colleagues teaching in French this semester or preparing to do so in the future. As always, you can contact us by emailing teachinginfrench@dawsoncollege.qc.ca . There are also many resources available on our SharePoint site.
