Hugh Gloster’s retirement was a quick one.
Gloster retired from his role as superintendent of the Central Okanagan School District at the end of 2015 and he’s now project manager for the renewal of the Faculty of Education program at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus.
Throughout his 36 years in the Okanagan, Gloster has occupied every education role within the public school spectrum, from administration to teaching.
“He brings a wealth of understanding and an outside perspective that ultimately benefits our students and the next generation of learners,” said Susan Crichton, director of the faculty of education.
“He is a proven friend of education and learning, and we look forward to working together.”
The renewed BEd program, which launches in 2017, will focus on providing student teachers with the ability to teach at all levels and in a variety of teaching and learning contexts.
Gloster believes it will help prepare educators to face the daily challenges associated with their evolving roles.
