| Kate Day is currently a teacher in
the St. Paul’s RCSSD #20 Saskatoon Catholic Schools . In 2005,
Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools launched a project Meitheal
@ Holy Cross. This program offers a broad range of needs based
on mental health services to those students dually-diagnosed
with an intellectual disability and a co-occurring mental health/psychiatric
disturbance. As a recipient of the Kirkpatrick Travel Award,
Kate will travel to New York City to meet with Dr. Tomasulo and
colleagues to learn about innovative methods for healing psychological
trauma suffered by students in order to enhance her work in the
program. |
| Pam Mather is currently a teacher
and an instructional coach in the Lloydminster Public School
Division. As instructional coaching is a new initiative in the
school division, she has been researching and collaborating over
effective coaching practice. Pam plans to travel to the Topeka
Public School District in Kansas to gain more insight into instructional
coaching in order to benefit herself, her coaching team, her
students and possibly other Saskatchewan school divisions. |
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.
