The 2018 Upper Canada District School Board Trustee Innovation Awards are now open for nominations.
The board says the award was created to recognize employees at the board that make it more modern and innovative. It was also made to inspire others to find new ways to better serve the schools and their communities. The first awards were presented in 2013.
To qualify, the board says that an employee must have demonstrated creativity and innovation in devising a technique, tool or other resource that has increased student or peer achievement.
Nominations are being accepted from employees, students and members of the schools’ Parent Councils.
There are six categories including support staff, elementary teacher, secondary teacher, facilities/school and system, administration and managers, and team/group.
Nominations are open until April 30th of next year. You can learn more through this link to the online nomination form and program FAQ.
