Facilitator Accomplishments

PPL is happy to share some exciting updates from two of our facilitators:

Charlene Kloos MA, BAA

2022 was a busy but rewarding year professionally for Charlene.  She completed her Quality Matters (QM) certification and is now a QM-Certified Peer Reviewer for higher education online courses.  This is a helpful certification to have when facilitating and updating courses with PPL.  This achievement also allows Charlene to join the Ministry of Colleges and Universities on a contract basis as an External Expert Facilitator/Project Officer. In this role, she is overseeing the review and revision of the Educational Support diploma program standard in Ontario.

Christine Trosztmer, PhD candidate, MA, MSc, RP, RN, PM

An experienced scuba diver, this year Christine learned the art of rebreather diving. This means that she does not blow bubbles while scuba diving anymore and can dive longer – up to six hours at a time.  As an experienced scuba instructor, she hopes to teach the rebreather technique in 2023, although likely not as part of our PPL course offerings!  In addition to this accomplishment, Christine recently started her PhD in organizational psychology.  Starting her PhD journey has reignited her passion for the field and will allow her to bring this fresh perspective to her students.
