profession.

About 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
and leaders whose
inspirational approach to education stimulates student learning.
NEiTA is Australia’s only national community-centred teaching awards program that gives Australian secondary
students, parents, early childhood education, and school communities the
opportunity to formally thank their hard-working, inspirational teachers,
principals and directors.
|
|
Every year 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.

"The power of the NEiTA nomination cannot be
underestimated. Acknowledgement by your school community is the most
inspiring form of recognition an educator can receive. The
opportunity to work and develop with recognised teachers from around
the world at the International Space Camp was a highlight of my
teaching career."
(Helen Armstrong, Bakewell Primary School Northern Territory, NEiTA National Award recipient and 2009 Australian teacher representative to the International Space Camp USA)
