Congratulations to Ian Fogarty (’93), a Grade 11 and 12 chemistry and physics teacher at Riverview High School, who was in Ottawa May 15 to receive the Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence.
His success in the classroom stems from teamwork, and building genuine relationships with students and colleagues.
He is completing his 10th year at Riverview High School.
Ian is a strong believer in using lively examples, such as videos of bike skids, snowboarding styles, kayak rolls and billiard-ball breaks, to teach scientific principles to students.
He also likes to use puzzles to help spark problem-solving skills.
Ian has bachelors' degrees in science and education from Mount A, a master's degree in science from New Mexico State University and is working towards a PhD in science at UNB.
Ian was New Brunswick's lone recipient.
A total of 95 Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence and Excellence in Early Childhood Education will be given to educators from across Canada.
The recipients represent teaching excellence in a wide-range of subjects at all grade levels, from preschool through secondary school.
