New Westminster science teacher is literally playing with fire.
The Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence have recognized exceptional elementary and secondary school teachers in all disciplines since 1994, with over 1,800 teachers honoured to date. Teaching Excellence Awards recipients are honoured for their remarkable achievements in education and for their commitment to preparing youth for a digital and innovation-based economy. The Teaching Excellence in STEM Awards celebrate outstanding Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics teachers that help develop the culture of innovation Canada needs today, and in the future.
This is what Darren said about this award:
I feel incredibly thrilled and humbled to receive such a prestigious award for something I love to do so dearly! A heartfelt thank you to my lovely (and very patient) wife, my super supportive friends, and my inspirational teaching colleagues and administrators at my school and beyond. Every day, you remind me of the wonderful things we can do together when we passionately seek wisdom and kindness in our teaching of young people. I’m especially grateful to my students who have made all this possible… YOU are the reason why we are here! It is an absolute joy and honor to serve as your Science teacher. You constantly remind me how important it is to stay curious, laugh heartily, and persevere TOGETHER, each and every day!
We are very proud of Darren’s achievement and wish him continuing success in science teaching!
