  • Arbos Award Citations
    Citations Robert Regnier 2016 Arbos Award for Distinguished Support of Education and the Teaching Profession The recipient of the 2016 Arbos for Distinguished Support of Education and the Teaching Profession is Robert Regnier. Bob Regnier is a professor of theory and philosophy of education in the Department of Educational Foundations of the College of Education at the University of Saskatchewan where he currently serves as department head. Throughout his career Bob’s research and scholarship have focused on the philosophy of education and educational theory and practice associated with method and instruction, Aboriginal education, ecological and environmental education, teaching and learning theory, and higher education. Bob lived his early childhood in Fielding, Saskatchewan, where he was shaped under the prairie reaches and blue skies through play with friends throughout the gardens, yards and alleys of this community. Bob then resided in Prince Albert until 1965 where he went to St. Mary’s High School. Here he served as the school student reporter to the Prince Albert Daily Herald and as president of its Student Representative Council for two years. Bob’s interest in teaching and learning was inspired by two very influential women in his life. Bob’s mother taught in six one-room schools in Saskatchewan during the 1930s, then again in the 1960s and ‘70s after attending a single year of Normal School. Bob also acted as assistant to his wife Sylvia who was the first teacher of the Saskatoon Open School, an institution which was far ahead of the teaching norm of the day but in concert with the rise of new teaching theories.
