This is who I am and try to strive for in life:”Winner in the innovative development categoryJon Ellrose, principal NTI-gymnasiet SundsvallJon Ellrose is always first with the latest, an important factor in NTIG's development, while not losing sight of the main mission, that each student should reach their full potential. Jon is a committed and curious leader who thinks outside the box and creates conditions for his employees to generate ideas. Thanks to Jon's power of action, the school has for some time now had a physical innovation hub where students, teachers and industry professionals can meet, develop and create together. With a well-founded base in research around gamification and game-based learning, he brings new tools into education that favor learning. Jon has human leadership at the center, focus on the employees, on reducing stress and creating commitment, which can be seen in the school's good NMI results, where the ability to give employees the opportunity to develop stands out in particular. Jon is a much appreciated principal and colleague and we will be seeing more of him and the school in the future!”
