Tina Nowosad is a grades 6, 7, and 8 Art and Drama teacher at Bruce Middle School. She has been an arts educator for the past 15 years working at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Tina describes her interest and integration of sustainability into her classroom this way: “I have never liked throwing things away. Perhaps this is in part due to my upbringing and the fact that…one could not afford to Visit Tina’s classroom website to see just two of the latest art exhibits which challenge the notion that something “used” should go straight to the recycling bin. Perhaps there is a need for a new term… “precycling”? The student projects will get you thinking about some creative applications for post consumer waste before it hits the blue bin. Tina Nowosad can be reached at Bruce Middle School, 333 Booth Drive, Winnipeg, MB, Tel: (204) 888-1990. Kyle Lizotte is a Grade 5 teacher at Crestview School. He is a graduate of both the University of Winnipeg and the University of Manitoba and has been teaching in the St. James School Division for the past 6 years at the grade 4 and 5 levels. Kyle describes his interest and integration of sustainability into his classroom this way: "At Crestview School we are heavily involved with a variety of sustainability issues and awareness activities that have involved students at all grade levels throughout the school year. I truly believe that the more we focus on the aspects of sustainability and global citizenship with our students now, especially at a young age, the more likely they will carry these habits on throughout the remainder of their lives. We are educating the leaders of tomorrow who will ultimately be responsible for continuing to make a positive impact on the world for generations to come. The link between education and sustainability is a necessary one that we at Crestview try to incorporate each and every day.” Go to his classroom website to see how Kyle creatively integrates sustainability into the daily life of his class as well as his website!
