Inspirational Teachers Matter
NEiTA (National Excellence in
Teaching Awards) and the Australian Scholarships Group (ASG) have announced the names
of the 60 Australian teachers to receive recognition through NEiTA’s inaugural 2008 ASG
Inspirational Teacher State and Territory Awards.
Showcasing the diversity of the teaching profession, the recognised inspirational teachers
work across the spectrum of education sectors from early childhood to secondary education,
teaching students with a diversity of learning needs, in specialised subject areas using teaching
processes that get results. Examples of the inspirational teachers’ work include: taking their
students and subjects into the wider community, contributing to the environment, re-engaging
students, presenting real life learning experiences in the classroom, and connecting
students to technological learning experiences.
Further information, including individual profiles for each teacher can be
found here
and a media release here. |

NEiTA
The Australian Scholarships Group
formed NEiTA 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 who are an inspiration to their students, to their
peers and to their community.

Show your teacher appreciation through the NEiTA Awards.
