Stettler-based Clearview Public Schools has announced its nominee for this year’s Alberta School Board Association (ASBA) Zone 4 Edwin Parr Teacher Award.

According to District officials, Brandon Brown has been selected by the Board of Trustees for his enthusiasm, commitment to his students and passion for teaching.

“I have had the privilege of working extensively with Brandon and I can accurately speak of three of his traits that have laid the foundation for a successful first year of teaching,” said Donalda School Principal Mark Siemens in a news release. “His impeccable work ethic, his strong interpersonal skills and his passion for learning and improving,” added Siemens.

Brown says he feels blessed to have the opportunity to go to school every day and talk about two of his greatest passions: Science and Physical Education,” I have a strong commitment to the children I work with and want to make a difference for good in each of their lives,” explained Brown. “One of the rewards I most anticipate is reconnecting with former students and discovering where they took their future. I love working at Donalda School and am very proud to be a rural educator.”

Clearview Public Schools Superintendent Peter Barron said Brown is an excellent candidate for the Edwin Parr Award,” He embodies all the qualities we look for in a first-year teacher,” stated Barron. “He is innovative, hardworking and dedicated to his students. We wish him all the best at the next stage of this competition and for the rest of the school year.”
