Carol Todd, BEd’84
Alumni Educator of the Year 2023
Carol Todd has consistently incorporated equity, diversity, and inclusion into her practice, ensuring that every student and educator feels valued and heard, regardless of their background, race, or gender. She has passionately promoted and advocated for more awareness around online safety and exploitation, working closely with provincial organizations, community partners, students, and families to create lasting change.
In Carol’s current role as District Coordinator of Digital Literacy and Supportive Technologies, she provides exceptional consultative and direct support to all schools in assistive and accessible technologies. Additionally, she supports teachers on instructional strategies, assessment, and individual education plans (IEP) development for students while engaging and collaborating with other district professional personnel in meaningful, supportive ways.
The role of advocates is often essential to ensure challenges and needs are recognized, and Carol’s hands-on approach is fundamentally different than others. She helps everyone with their “next step” to learn and grow together, all in the interest of better-supporting children so that they have the best possible preparation to both succeed educationally and, more importantly, be safe and positive contributors to our society.
