From the Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB):
The Director’s Recognition for Innovation and Leadership Award celebrates individuals in Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) who have combined the characteristics of innovation and leadership to improve our system and advance the strategic direction goals of improving student learning and achievement, and fostering student and staff well-being.
The award was presented by the director of education, Wes Hahn, at the latest TLDSB Public Meeting of the Board. Hahn introduced this month’s recipient:
Gravenhurst High School (GHS) Mathematics Department head, David Gilbert, has used his skills to engage staff in authentic learning opportunities to change their practice and, alongside his colleagues, continues to monitor the progress of their efforts. Over the last three years, Gilbert has continued to work within his department to enhance the pedagogical approaches to support students within a de-streamed learning environment. In addition, he has engaged staff from various other departments and provided professional learning opportunities to enhance their understanding of the competencies that students need to develop in order to improve their numeracy skills. Gilbert continues to push and challenge his colleagues to find ways to address their greatest areas of need. This level of coaching, co-planning, and monitoring for a full-time teacher, athletic coach, and student council staff advisor is truly innovative work.
