Dear Selection Committee: Re: College Sector Educator Award Nominee Amy Abe It is my great pleasure to nominate Amy Abe for the STLHE College Sector Educator Award. Amy is an extraordinary teacher, a respected leader among her colleagues, and a kind and generous person devoted to student success. I have had the privilege of knowing Amy since she began her career at NorQuest College in 2007. Over these seven years Amy has shown a continuous commitment to meeting the institutional goals of our College while employing her talents in the exceptional execution of her job. She was recently nominated by her students and fellow instructors for the Jaye Fredrickson Award for Teaching Excellence, the highest teaching award offered at NorQuest College. The award honours an individual who engages learners through exemplary facilitation and supports them through advocacy and utilizes innovative approaches to education. It reflects someone who develops learner-centered curriculum materials, employs authentic evaluation, and demonstrates a commitment to scholarship. Amy embodies the NorQuest College values of teaching excellence and I was pleased to announce her as runner-up at our Faculty Jamboree event in November. Tam delighted to nominate Amy for this award, but I am also grateful to have her as a member of our faculty. I hope you honour her with this award so she can serve as an inspiration to more Callege educators. Sincerely, esident Teaching and Learning & Chief Academic Officer
