W. Douglas Wilson Appointed Deputy Registrar

Geography teacher, administrator and author W. Douglas Wilson assumed his new responsibilities as Deputy Registrar of the College on January 1 of this year. Wilson came to the College just over a year ago as Manager of the Standards of Practice and Education Unit.

"Doug is a welcome addition to the senior leadership team of the College and I look forward to working closely with him," says College Registrar Joe Atkinson. "He is a full and equal partner to me in my role as Registrar."

During the past year, Wilson co-ordinated the remaining work on the Standards of Practice for the Teaching Profession and led the unit in the development of the Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession and the Professional Learning Framework for the Teaching Profession.

Wilson began his career as a geography teacher at Pickering High School in 1968 and later became a vice-principal at the school. He joined the staff of Dr. F. J. Donevan Collegiate in Oshawa as principal. In 1989, Wilson was promoted to superintendent with the Durham Board of Education and served in three different portfolios until 1999 when he joined the College.

In 1996, Wilson led the Durham board team that was recognized with the Carl Bertelsmann Award for the board’s innovative approach to staff and leadership development and the successful integration of co-operative learning styles and recent developments in teaching methods into schools board-wide. The Durham board was nominated by word of mouth and selected to represent North America for the prestigious award, eventually winning over school systems from Norway to New Zealand. The Carl Bertelsmann Foundation is the charitable arm of the giant German international media and publishing conglomerate.

Wilson is also co-author of a number of geography textbooks and teachers’ guides that have been used in schools in Ontario and across Canada. The most recent is Close-Up Canada for Grade 7 that was published this year. The fourth edition of each of the Grade 8 Flashback Canada and Grade 9/10 Spotlight Canada were published last year.

Despite his many years as an administrator, says Wilson, "the experience I value most is the 15 years I spent as a teacher."

"I’m delighted to have the opportunity to move into a role in which I can continue working with the College’s exemplary staff to provide direction and leadership in the development of the teaching profession."

Wilson holds a MEd from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Western Ontario.

Doug Wilson replaces J. W. (Joe) Atkinson who was appointed Registrar effective November 1st.

CHRIS SACH-ANDERSON IS NEW SENIOR INVESTIGATOR

Chris Sach-Anderson, a senior legal executive with more than 35 years experience in the Canadian and British legal systems, has joined the Investigations and Hearings Department as Senior Investigator.

Sach-Anderson came to the College from the law firm of McCarthy Tétrault where he has worked since 1989, managing cases and instructing counsel before trial courts, professional administrative tribunals and courts of appeal. His experience includes the investigation, prosecution and defence of professional discipline and fitness to practise matters before several professional colleges in Ontario.

Sach-Anderson has been connected to the College since its establishment in 1997, providing advice, guidance and direction to the department and its investigators on a consulting basis. He was a major contributor to the College’s guidebook for its investigators.

Sach-Anderson takes over from Laurent Joncas who is now the Senior Resolutions Officer.

BILL HENRY IS NEW IT MANAGER

Bill Henry is the College’s new Manager of Information Technology. Henry joins the College from the Liquor Control Board of Ontario where he was Man-ager of Technical Services.
Henry will manage the College’s information technology staff and consultants who keep hardware and software up to date and running.

Henry has more than 20 years experience in the effective and efficient application of information technology to business opportunities.

He will play a key role in the College’s expansion into e-commerce, which will increase the number of services available to College members and applicants via the Internet.

DEIRDRE SMITH APPOINTED MANAGER OF STANDARDS OF PRACTICE AND EDUCATION

The College’s new Manager of Standards of Practice and Education brings a wealth of educational and administrative experience to her new responsibilities.

Deirdre Smith comes to the College from San Marco Catholic School in the York Catholic District School Board, where she held the post of principal.

Smith has played a leadership role in special education, staff development and the development of Additional Qualification courses. She also has extensive experience as an adult educator with York University, a child and youth worker for the Halton Board of Education and as a curriculum consultant for the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board.

"Fostering a collaborative culture of professional inquiry is essential for exemplary teaching and high quality education. I welcome the opportunity to use my skills, knowledge and commitment to ongoing teacher development and learning with the College," said Smith.

Professional Affairs Co-ordinator Linda Grant said, "The action research focus of Deirdre’s doctoral thesis, as well as her broad experience as an educator and her proven leadership, will make her a very welcome addition to our Standards of Practice and Education Unit and the College’s management team."
