This is how Cynthia Bettio, an educator with over 20 years’ experience, has lived her life. As a Department Head of Canadian and World Studies at St. Katharine Drexel CHS in Stouffville, Cynthia has always sought out opportunities to deepen her professional learning and the learning of the students in her classroom. Through innovative practices and measured risk taking, Cynthia endeavours to always disrupt the status quo. Doing things the way that they have always been done is not a good enough reason to keep doing them that way, in her opinion. As a graduate of the YCDSB, Cynthia not only devotes her time to the students in her classroom, but also works for the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto as an instructor and writer of the Senior Indigenous Studies Additional Basic Qualification and, most recently, traveled to the Nuba Mountains in Sudan to deliver the course that she wrote for training primary school teacher candidates on how to teach Social Studies. As a recipient of the Governor General’s Award for Excellence in Teaching History in 2022 and the Making a Difference Award from ESRI Canada, Cynthia believes deeply in education as the only solution to all of the world’s problems. When she is not working, she loves spending time with her husband and 4 children, working out at her local CrossFit gym, reading amazing books by her favourite authors, and traveling.
