PGSS teacher Shannon Schinkel has received the most prestigious teaching award in Canada
A Prince George teacher has received the Prime Minister’s Teaching Excellence Award, which is the most prestigious prize awarded to teachers in Canada.
She is specifically a recipient of the 2022 Prime Minister’s Certificate of Achievement which recognizes her success and dedication in the changing of the culture of the classroom from measuring success in terms of grades to honouring progress, learning and growth. She replaces reporting by collaboration, she guides and does not prescribe, and she focusses on learning quality as opposed to compliance.
Schinkel’s passion for gradeless assessment is known throughout the province. She launched a Facebook page on gradeless assessment and its implementation and relation to the BC curriculum. She now has a following of 1700 teachers and her assessment strategies have been featured on national and international platforms.
