A science teacher at a high school in Fergus is a finalist for the Global Teacher Prize.
Glenn Wagner of Centre Wellington District High School is one of 50 people in the running for the award, which delivers a $1 million prize to one teacher each year.
To be eligible for the prize, a teacher must teach children between the ages of five and 18.
According to a bio posted on the award’s website, Wagner “aims to engage students within a fun, cooperative learning environment, providing lessons that advance students’ thinking and promote positive social interactions with their peers.”
Wagner has also received a number of awards for his teaching, and has developed various workshops and presentations for his peers.
There are two other Canadians among the 50 finalists – Mark Reid of Vancouver and Steve Revington of London.
