MYSA's New Executive Officer

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:53:52 GMT

Following the retirement of foundational MYSA Executive Officer Susan Hearfield, MYSA has appointed Angela White to take on the role and guide the organisation through its next stage of development. We are very privileged to have an esteemed and experienced middle years educator of Angela’s calibre to take on this exciting role.

Angela has a Bachelor of Education and has worked for the last 12 years as a middle years teacher and leader in New Zealand. In 2003 she was recognised as an aspiring leader and awarded the Ministry of Education Linking Minds Scholarship to research Digital Literacy in the United Kingdom. Since then, she has continued to research and apply best practice in ICT pedagogy for middle years classrooms.

In 2005, Angela was appointed Head of Middle School at St Margaret's College in Christchurch and extensively used MYSA research and school contacts in the establishment of this Middle School. During her time at St Margaret’s, Angela introduced a 1:1 laptop program, infused the Habits of Mind into curriculum and helped establish a Year 10 leader program.

Angela was an executive member of NZAIMS (New Zealand Association of Intermediate and Middle Schooling), New Zealand Ambassador for the Habits of Mind and has always been an avid supporter of MYSA in New Zealand. She has presented at conferences, conducted professional development events and has been a member of the MYSA Conference Committee.

Angela will be based in Brisbane, and says she is thrilled to take on this new position. We welcome her and look forward to her leadership!
