RecognItIon FoR eDucAtIonAl ReSeARcheRS mcDowell founDation awarD The McDowell Foundation Award was introduced in 1998 to celebrate the work of individuals who have made outstanding contributions to educational research. Awards are presented to both researchers and those who have made educational research possible through their financial and organizational support. In 2011 the McDowell Foundation Award was presented at the Learning From Practice conference to Gwen Dueck, Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation. Gwen received the award for her many years of involvement, leadership and commitment to building and sustaining the Dr. Stirling McDowell Foundation for Research Into Teaching. Terry Johanson, President of the McDowell Foundation Board of Directors, presenting Gwen Dueck with McDowell Award. A researcher herself, Gwen has co-written a number of research reports and presentation proposals on the experiences of beginning teachers. She is a three-time recipient of the Education Leadership Award from the University of British Columbia (2004, 2005, 2006), as well as the recipient of the Administrative Leadership Award (1997) from the Saskatchewan Council of Educational Administration. Throughout her almost 20-year involvement with the McDowell Foundation, Gwen has always looked for ways to “advance the vision of those who were inspired to create the Foundation originally.” Gwen was a board member of the McDowell Foundation from 1999 to 2004 and President of the Foundation from 2008 to 2011. We appreciate Gwen’s respect of the history and the intent of the organization and for seeking to make changes that will develop a strong foundation for the continued success of the McDowell Foundation.
