Joyce Brinkerhoff
Independent for Central Okanagan School Board
I want to see every student flourish into a kind, engaged, and skillful citizen.
Schools & Public Education
Artificial Intelligence in Schools
Students need to learn how to use resources for educational support without the technology undermining student responsibility for their academic learning and development of independent life skills.
Bullying & Bigotry
Everyone deserves respect and everyone should expect to receive respect.
Bullying and Bigotry are never an acceptable practice. There needs to be mutual respect for the dignity of each and every individual
Biography
submitted by the candidate or their team
I raised 4 kids in Kelowna and now 13 grandkids (12 living locally!). I’m a long-term community volunteer, worked as a English language teacher and now am retired with my family physician husband. I served as a school trustee 2011-2014 and know I have more to add.
I am a team-player with a passion to collaborate with fellow trustees, the superintendent, his staff and our partner groups - while holding a strong belief that parents are key to their children's education! My platform is to see students flourishing at every level, budgets be accountable and improved academic scores while also increasing student mental health and preparation for life!
Reason for running
submitted by the candidate or their team
With grandkids in every level of schooling - I have 'vested interest' in the success of our schools! I have experience as a school trustee and have volunteered extensively in the community.
