Danielle Honour
Meet Danielle Honour – Elementary Teacher
Grade 2
Norseman Junior Middle School, Toronto
Toronto District School Board
Danielle Honour’s remarkable ability to inspire and motivate children to learn has made her a favourite at
Norseman Junior Middle School. Colleagues say she helps when help is needed and does what she does out of
a genuine commitment to, and love for, those she serves. Ms. Honour keeps a close eye on all of her students
and ensures they all feel included and welcome, but her interest in teaching extends outside her own school’s
walls. Ms. Honour took a major role in raising funds to build a school house in Kenya and initiated the Friends
Across the City project – linking her class with another Toronto school with a different ethnic and
socio-economic make up. The students write to each other and meet for special events such as Diwali and shared
field trips. Ms. Honour’s only regret? That she has her students for only a short ten months – there’s so much
more she would love to do with them.
