Regional Recipient

Robert McLeish

Robert McLeish's impact as a teacher extends far beyond the doors of J.S. Woodsworth Secondary School in Ottawa. Mr. McLeish is one of the main authors of an "Exemplar Booklet" that has ensured that Grade 10 standards are applied uniformly throughout the local school board and that all students are subject to the same set of expectations. His hard work in these and other areas, such as planning the first Ontario Mathematics Olympics, has made him universally respected by faculty and students.
