Winner @ Global Teacher Prize
Maggie MacDonnell is the winner of the Global Teacher Prize, a $1,000,000 prize that is touted as the Nobel Peace Prize for education. Maggie’s educational approach is rooted in community development and feminist practice. For the last 15 years she has worked with such diverse populations as Congolese and Burundian refugees, Tanzanian youth living with HIV, to Inuit teenagers in the Canadian Arctic. For many years she taught in an isolated Inuit village called Salluit, nestled in the mountains of the Canadian Arctic and only accessible by plane.
