Van Tech French Immersion Department Head Erin Cullingworth has won the CAEP Dunlop Master Award for her work on her masters thesis. Cullingworth's graduate studies examined caring for adolescent students with a "grounded theory study of teachers' perspectives on their relationships with students in secondary schools."

She was awarded the distinction from the Canadian Association of Educational Psychologists.

In addition to receiving an honorarium, Cullingworth was also invited to present her doctoral work via a poster presentation during the upcoming CAEP/IEE joint wine and cheese social taking place this June.
