  • 2009 – David Poole, Mathematics

Learning Disabilities Association of Canada’s Project Success Canada

This award is related to Prof. Berrill's research on the value of one-to-one volunteer tutoring for children with learning disabilities. This research was funded by the Trillium Foundation, Clarica Canada, and Children's Literacy Toronto and was a multi-year study. The results of that research provided the empirical data and knowledge that she then used to inform the inclusion of a tutoring placement and an accompanying course, "Supporting literacy and learners with special needs", in the Trent B.Ed. program. 

  • 1999 – Deborah Berrill, Education and Professional Learning

Learning Disabilities Association of Ontario’s Educator of the Year Award
