Certificate of Achievement Recipients

William Korytowski

As Head of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department of Sisler High School in Winnipeg, William Korytowski's dedication to student development is apparent inside and outside the classroom. He integrates concepts from business, engineering and computer science into his lessons to make them interesting and relevant. His ability to draw on each student's existing skills and strengths when teaching challenges his advanced students while still encouraging others to learn. Mr. Korytowski coaches students for the national mathematics contest, gives after-hour tutorial sessions, initiated a partnership with the University of Manitoba enabling Grade 12 students to take university-level calculus for credit, created and funded the Sisler High School Math Award, and wrote, co-authored or reviewed numerous textbooks and curricula.
