AUT0BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT -  C. BRUCE DANIELS

     I was born in Nanaimo, B.C. and grew up in Humboldt, Saskatchewan.  I obtained my high school education at Humboldt and my post secondary from the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.  I taught in Melfort, Humboldt, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.  In Calgary, I was at Forest Lawn and Ernest Manning High Schools where I taught Physical Education and was Departmental Head of Physical Education while coaching several sports.

     I then spent several years in the private sector involved in Real Estate sales and management.  I concluded my career in the private sector as Manager of Internal Relations, Calgary Real Estate Board.

     Changes in my personal life and a move to Nanaimo resulted in my returning to my career in Education.  I was at Wellington and Dover Bay High Schools teaching English, Social Studies, Humanities, Comparative Civilization and Physical Education.  At Dover Bay, a new high school, I was Department Head of Student Activities and coached high school sports.

     I continued my teaching career in Nanaimo while attending Malaspina University College and the University of Victoria to add to my professional education and to obtain a Masters Degree in Educational Administration.

     An opportunity to move into school administration resulted in a move to Kitimat, B.C. where I was Vice Principal at Mount Elizabeth Secondary School and where I also taught Social Studies in addition to my administrative duties.  An appointment as Vice Principal and then Principal of Caledonia Senior Secondary School resulted in a move to Terrace, B.C.   Both high schools are in the Coast Mountains School District #82.

     I concluded my work with Coast Mountains School District #82 in March of 2006 as District Principal responsible for a number of school district programs including ACE IT (Accelerated credit enrolment in industry training), Board Authority Authorized courses, Planning 10, Graduation Portfolios and the B.C. electronic Student Information System.

     I and my wife have moved back to Alberta settling in Camrose to be closer to family and to get back to the prairies.  I have continued my education career as the Principal of Irma School for a semester, a teaching assignment at Smith School and currently as the Principal of Grassland School.
