Joe Benforte, a math teacher from Walkerville Collegiate Institute, has won an Impact Award at Knowledgehook’s second annual Impact Award ceremony. The Impact Awards were created to celebrate math teachers’ dedication and effective use of research-based practices in their classrooms.
According to Mr. Benforte, “The most rewarding thing about teaching is seeing the light turn on in a student, especially when they don’t realize it’s there. You see that potential just suddenly pop out and they’re excited where they maybe weren’t moments earlier.”
Mr. Benforte is one of twenty-eight 2021-2022 recipients from across Canada. A panel of Knowledge Translation experts selected the winners after identifying examples of their outstanding work in the classroom and how particular research methods shone through in their instruction.
Congratulations Mr. Benforte!
