Carrie (Caron) Berry is currently a teacher at Mount Royal Collegiate in Saskatoon. As a home economics teacher, her interest in fashion was renewed with the implementation and piloting the Clothing, Textiles and Fashion 10, 30 curricula in practical and applied arts. After working with secondary students whose creative talents in fashion design, clothing manufacturing and fashion merchandising, she began searching for post secondary options to recommend to her students. For her Masters in Education in the Department of Curriculum Studies, Carrie is developing a curriculum project: Fashion Merchandising: A Proposal for Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology.
As a recipient of the Kirkpatrick Travel Award, Carrie will have the opportunity to travel to New York City to visit two prominent and highly regarded schools in fashion design and merchandising. The research will benefit Saskatchewan students, home economics teachers and the Saskatchewan apparel industry.

David O’Soup is a second year student enrolled in the ITEP program at the College of Education. He is in the secondary education track with English and Religious Studies as his teaching areas. David is a member of The Key First Nation.
As a recipient of the Kirkpatrick Travel Award, David will have the opportunity to travel to Eagle’s Nest Recovery House in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia. This facility is an aboriginal treatment centre that specializes in the treatment of youth with problems relating to alcohol, hallucinogens, narcotics, prescription and solvent abuse. David would enjoy the opportunity to learn more about the process of treatment and rehabilitation in aboriginal youth at the centre so that he can effectively support students who deal with these problems.
The Kirkpatrick Travel Award is administered jointly by the University of Saskatchewan College of Education, the University of Saskatchewan Alumni Association, and the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation. The annual award celebrates the contribution the late Dean Emeritus Balfour Kirkpatrick made to education in Saskatchewan.
