Maths teachers complete online accreditation
Diallo Rabain, the Minister of Education, congratulated 15 public elementary and middle school mathematics teachers for completing an online professional development programme.
Offered by the Schools, Students and Teachers network in Britain, the Lead Practitioner accreditation centres on research-based teaching and learning practices.
Mr Rabain said the certification, which takes a year to complete, speaks to the educators’ “dedication to elevating teaching and learning standards in mathematics education.
“It signifies your commitment to professional growth and practice, which is essential for advancing education reform in Bermuda."
The following people have earned the Lead Practitioner accreditation:
Dionne Tuzo Northlands Primary
Antoinette Hollis Francis Patton Primary
Jodie Rudo Francis Patton Primary
Chevonne Furbert Harrington Sound
Alanna King Dellwood Middle School
Angela Tota Francis Port Royal Primary
O’Shandah Lightbourne Purvis Primary

Melanie Seymour West End Primary

Crenstant Williams Ministry of Education mathematics officer
Adding that the accreditation will also help Bermuda’s future public school students, the minister said: “Successful LPs will be able to extend their sphere of influence beyond their immediate team.
“This is the hallmark of authentic leadership and what we need in Bermuda’s public schools.”
Mr Rabain thanked the Centennial Bermuda Foundation and Vivien Carter for supporting the programme, as well as Crenstant Williams, the ministry’s mathematics officer, for introducing it to the island’s public schools.
He said Mr Williams’s “commitment to building a sustainable, professional learning network in mathematics is invaluable”.
