NEiTA

The Australian Scholarships Group (ASG) formed NEiTA (National Excellence In Teaching Awards) in 1994 to conduct a program of national awards honouring exemplary teachers in Australian schools and early childhood centres.

The awards promote public recognition of the teaching profession and specifically those teachers whose inspirational approach to teaching stimulates student learning.

The program calls on parents, school councils, committees of management, student councils and local community organisations to identify teachers, principals and directors who are an inspiration to their students, to their peers and to their community.
"I have searched intensively for a way to recognise and thank a teacher who has not only helped me in my education and my life, but also many other students at my school as well. I believe I have found this way in these awards, and congratulate you and ASG for enabling people like myself to return the bountiful favours that teachers are indeed owed."

(Ryan Buhagiar, Year 12 student and President, Student Representative Council, Keilor Downs College Vic)
2009 – New National Category

This year’s awards incorporate leadership and development as a new category at the national awards level in addition to community engagement and innovation.

The leadership and development category recognises the important role that leadership, in its many forms, contributes to, and encourages, great teaching in our schools and centres. Leadership and development, in this category, not only includes principals, deputy principals, and centre directors, but also recognises the valuable role played by all forms of school leaders, be they team leaders, heads of department, house leaders etc.
