Seven Faculty Instructors Nominated for Contribution to Teaching Awards
The Faculty of Education is fortunate to have many exemplary instructors whose work has been recognized in a number of different ways over the past years. In an impressive demonstration of the depth of teaching in the Faculty of Education, seven instructors have been nominated by their students for Contribution to Teaching Awards. Unfortunately, some of these outstanding educators are not eligible for the award, as one of the conditions for receiving the award is to have taught at Lakehead for four semesters. This does not detract, however, from the very real achievement of being nominated.
On behalf of the Faculty of Education, congratulations to the seven nominees!
- Melanie Biesenthal - Curriculum & Instruction in Mathematics (Primary-Junior). Melanie recognizes that this nomination is the result of being part of a collaboration with Dr. Alex Lawson and the Primary/Junior Math Team with whom she learns and works so closely.
