My Most Memorable Teacher presents stories of 100 outstanding Alberta teachers. These heartfelt tributes from former students range across time and space, from the province's early years to the dawn of the 21st century.
Here are 100 educators who shaped the knowledge and character of individual students, and contributed to the dynamic development of our province.
My Most Memorable Teacher is the centennial story project of the Faculty of Education at the University of Calgary, one of many activities built around the theme of "Celebrate Teachers: 1905-2005." With Hon. Peter Lougheed as honorary chair, a panel of judges, drawn from Alberta's literary, historical and educational communities, selected these stories from hundreds of inspiring submissions from former students. Launched in November 1905, the Calgary Normal School evolved over the years into today's Faculty of Education, University of Calgary, which continues to prepare quality teachers for the 21st century.
