Jean Bouchard
New Frontiers School Board
I am the Centre Director of the NOVA Career Centre (New Frontiers School Board), Chateauguay, Québec. My background is in IT (Bachelor’s degree in Data Management Computing), but my career transitioned to Adult and Vocational education since 2008. My background obviously enabled me to implement and support computerized systems in both administrative (Microsoft Office, GRICS systems) and pedagogical (Software, apps, Smart Boards, ICT implementation). I consider myself as a Common Sense Educational Workflow Specialist, being able to use the systems already in place and optimize the workload of staff. My motto is “Never re-type information” with the tools already in place, rather try tapping in the already existing data gathered everywhere in corporate systems.
Other than my addiction to golf, I have a long and steady relationship with Board Games, and use them both as pedagogical tools and a means to be with my wife and two children, both working adults and still looking forward to hang out with their parents around the kitchen table!
