Educator vies for trustee position

By Mark Pavilons
A King City educator is hoping to become the next trustee on the York Region District School Board.
Alex Noudelman has jumped into the political arena, pursuing his interest in helping others and making a difference.
He's been working in the education field since 2000 and is currently a supply teacher with the Associated Hebrew School.
His experience has led him to become an advocate on behalf of students' needs.
“I advocate differentiated instruction, smaller classes, equitable and inclusive learning, and social justice. I decided to run for school board trustee in order to continue playing an active role in education and to inspire and empower students to become engaged and caring citizens of the world,” he said.
The schools in King Township remain small in size. Speaking to a number of parents in the area, Noudelman said they are concerned about the lack of funding from the government and resources.
“When elected, I intend to sit down with all administrators and respective communities to establish individual school profiles. These profiles will identify the strengths and needs/concerns of each school. As a representative of my electors, I will bring forward those ideas and concern to the school board for further evaluation. I also intend to keep communication constantly open and provide status updates regarding the inquiries of community leaders,” he stressed.
If elected, Noudelman intends to continue to improve student achievement in literacy and numeracy by putting high priority on classroom resource funding.
He also vows to make our schools safe environments for students, free of violence and bullying; to hold regular local neighborhood meetings with individual residents and businesses on a monthly basis to gather input; to increase funding for the arts and schools with more than two community classrooms; to advocate for more integration of special education students and English Language Learners into the mainstream classroom; to implement clear strategies for physical health, mental well-being and nutrition and to keep tax dollars in the classroom.
Throughout his post-secondary education years, he was introduced to many different political theories and he consider himself a “building blocks” type of person who takes ideas from different ideologies and implements them under one umbrella.
“I feel that it's time for me to put my theory and education into practice and really show my electors that there does not have to be a disconnect between them and the politicians they elect. “
In 2012, Noudelman submitted his application for the appointment as trustee for King and Aurora.
Alex and his wife Keren are King City residents.
Alex has extensive experience tutoring and home schooling students with learning disabilities as well as Asperger's Syndrome. He's also worked as a Pal-Unteer for over three years. Pal-Unteering involves working one-on-one with adults and teenagers who have developmental and learning disabilities and building rewarding friendships through social and recreational activities.
Noudelman is also athletically inclined and not only enjoys sports but he has run after-school and lunch-time sports programs in several school boards. In addition, he was a volunteer coach in a special needs basketball program.
Noudelman is also a digital marketing strategist, providing advice to companies across the GTA.
