Mr. Craig Gilbert

Hello,

Glad to have you drop by to Curriculum Night. My name is Craig Gilbert and I the Department Head for Social Studies here at Gander Collegiate.  I have been lucky enough in my career to teach for 26 years at great schools here in central Newfoundland. This is my 15th year at GC.  I have completed a B.A. (Honours in History and English), a B.Ed. (Intermediate and Secondary) at Memorial University as well as a M.Ed. (Curriculum and Instruction) at the University of New Brunswick. I am a husband and the father of two children who have graduated from GC.

One of the things that I try to impart on my students in Social Studies, is a love of history. Part of that is the "This day in history..."  that I put up in my class each day to start a conversation about various events in history, from the earth shattering to the mundane, all is fair game.  This day in history... September 25, 1066 this major battle would change the course of the history of the English speaking world..

The courses I teach this year are listed below (click on the image of the course information sheet to get a copy. )
