Amy piloted a remedial Math program for Grades 7 to 9 and, ever dedicated to maths and sciences, she launched the first annual Halton District Student Data Analysis Fair. It’s a math fair for students to showcase their statistics projects. On her own initiative, she found sponsors for the fair resulting in more than $2,000 in prizes for the students.
A general contributor to the education community; Amy has set up online learning projects for the Board and has given workshops for the technology teachers.
Her calculus course was the first online course to be fully subscribed at the Board.
Her colleagues say she brings fun to the job, has a passion for teaching math and science, is always upbeat and brings a positive influence to the school’s atmosphere.
