Awards & Recognition...
I have long been of the belief that my commitment to Early Childhood Education is motivated, in large part, by the intrinsic sense of satisfaction I experience through opportunities that arise to improve the lived experiences of the children, families and pre-service teachers with whom I come into regular contact. In this regard, it could be said that the work itself is its own reward. Still, there have been times in the last decade that my performance has been recognized with awards and other distinctions, many of which are outlined below.
