this week when an American programme administrator gives a series of lectures.

Kenneth R. Chuska, from Mcmurray, Pennsylvania, will talk to teachers, teacher administrators and teacher trainers in two workshops entitled "Integrating a Thinking Programme within the Existing Curriculum'' and "Improving Classroom Questions''.

The workshops, which take place at Mount Saint Agnes Academy Auditorium, hope to "involve participants in a sequence of activities and a variety of teacher strategies that are transferable to the classroom'' and "increase teacher questioning techniques to improve student participation''.

Mr. Chuska is a programme administrator and curriculum development coordinator for the handicapped at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit, a regional public school service agency in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area.

He received his B.A. degree in secondary English and the social sciences and his M.Ed. in elementary education and administration at the University of Pittsburgh.

Mr. Chuska has conducted workshops on thinking for the Pennsylvania Department of Education in many regional centres as well as individual work across the United States.

Both workshops will take place during a single session at MSA auditorium on Saturday, November 20 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
