James Trodden

Assistant Superintendent

I have been an educator across rural Alberta for 26 years. I am fortunate enough to work at BTPS, a strong rural school division. I have taught for a number of years including on a First Nation, in Middle School and High School. I have been a school leader in four different schools and worked for Alberta Education in Teaching and Leadership Excellence.

I graduated with a Bachelors of Education from the University of Alberta and a Master of Arts in Leadership and Training from Royal Roads University. I have developed a passion for learning and have also attended the University of Calgary at two different times to obtain a Certification in Human Resources and a Certificate in Project Management. 

I am excited to be a part of Buffalo Trail Public Schools and support the mission of maximizing student learning, in a safe and caring environment, supported by a highly effective team.
