THE OBSERVER | SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 2012 LIVING HERE EDUCATION / ABOVE AND BEYOND Together they’re making a difference Floradale PS educators win provincial award for their approach to all-day kindergarten program COLIN DEWAR A new teamwork philosophy has earned a pair of Floradale PS educators top grades from the province. Teacher Janet Martin and early childhood educator (ECE) Gloria Bauman are the recipients of the Premier’s Award for the Full Day Kindergarten Team of the Year. Watching the “proactive, productive professionals” at work inspired principal Vlad Kovac to nominate the pair. Early last month the kindergarten team was notified that they had received the award, which honours only one team from across the province for their work in a full-day kindergarten program. “We were shocked and very honoured, but when it comes down to it we are just doing our job,” said Martin, who has been a teacher for 16 years. The program is a paradigm shift in teaching philosophy; whereas kindergarten was once theme-based learning it has now changed to an inquiry-based learning, Kovac explained. The new curriculum is currently being phased across the province over the next five years. “It is really based on the student’s interests. So teachers are now coming at this grade from a different way or perspective. Students are now asking questions about things and teachers help them find the answers to their questions,” said Kovac. “It was identified early that these two teachers were not only doing well at it but they were accelerating with it.” Through the new program school has become more of a hands-on experience for the children. “It is phenomenal to see kids really engaged and really enthused with it all as they are learning what they want,” said Kovac. “It is incredible and very powerful to see the students learning in a different way.” To be recognized for the award the kindergarten team must be comprised of a registered ECE and a teacher who are currently employed in a full-day kindergarten class in a publicly funded elementary school. Although the team has only been working together for the last two years they have already worked with the school board to share their experiences teaching the new model by speaking to other staff and leading discussions on the professional development that is occurring in public schools. The ministry has also sequestered them to make videos that will be shared with the whole province about the program and philosophy behind it. The two educators have taken a different approach to the classroom experience. During the school year they had their class run a lemonade stand to make the concept of money real to the students.

I have cooked for musicians, politicians, cooking icons and many special guests, but the hardest man to cook for has always been, you guessed it, my dad. One of our hors d’oeuvres inspired by him and his traditional tastes is the petite yorkie with beef tenderloin and horseradish mashed potato. It is hugely popular and loved by all, but very safe. After beating stomach cancer – a moment I was never more proud – his cooking sense and taste buds awakened. Now he is trying all sorts of new recipes and cooking his way through cookbooks. Food has so many qualities nutritional, soul satisfying and as adventurous as you make it. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? Not necessarily, but I love to try! This recipe is fantastic in the oven or BBQ – just keep the BBQ on med-low to avoid the sugar burning. We use Conestoga porkloin: it is delicious! As the season progresses you can switch the apples to peaches, plums and figs. It’s a wonderful addition to any Dad’s day meal. CHEF’S TABLE| 28
