On March 18, the D123 Education Foundation recognized and rewarded two individuals for their efforts to promote excellence in education.
In an effort to recognize the hard work and dedication made daily by District 123 staff and stakeholders, the D123 Education Foundation has established a number of awards. By seeking nominations from peers and the community, the Foundation seeks to recognize, reward and promote excellence in education.
--The recipient of the Innovator of the Year Award goes to Mrs. Kathleen Ogean, OLHMS Math teacher. Kathleen demonstrates significant innovation in teaching and learning approaches to promote learner outcomes, and acts as a role model for creating and sustaining a culture that integrates theory, practice and evidence-based teaching approaches all year long.
