    Black Gold Regional Division No. 18 (BGRD) is pleased to announce that Andrea Kotscherofski from École Dansereau Meadows School in Beaumont, Alberta has been nominated as BGRD’s 2017 Edwin Parr Teacher Award Nominee.

    “Andrea is an excellent listener, assertive with her expectations, believes in teamwork, and often stays late or uses lunch hours to work with students,” stated Susanne Stroud, Principal at École Dansereau Meadows School.  “She is a very deserving candidate for the Edwin Parr Teacher Award”.

    Each year the Alberta School Boards Association honours six outstanding first-year teachers with the Edwin Parr Teacher Award. School boards may nominate any first-year K to 12 teacher who has taught in an Alberta school jurisdiction which is a member of the ASBA.

    Andrea‘s current teaching assignment includes Grade 7 English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Career and Technology Foundations where she uses a variety of instructional and evaluation methodologies such as effective questioning strategies, cooperative learning, accessing prior knowledge, blueprinting summative assessments and formative feedback to deepen understanding.  She also helps to organize the Student Wellness Action Team (SWAT) and is involved in coaching soccer, the yearbook, and school dance committees.

    “Congratulations to Andrea as the 2017 Edwin Parr Teacher Award nominee for the Black Gold Regional Division,” stated Board Chair, Johnette Lemke. “Andrea’s passion for teaching emulates the Division’s values, commitments, and beliefs related to inspiring success and student-focused learning. We could not be more fortunate to have her, along with so many other great teachers in our Division”.

    Special thanks to Susanne Stroud, for the time and effort that was taken in completing the nomination process.
