Nominate great teachers for an Excellence in Teaching Award

Students, parents, colleagues and community members are encouraged to nominate teachers and principals for a 2014 Excellence in Teaching Award, celebrating the best educators across Alberta.

“Outstanding educators create outstanding students – giving them the opportunity to reach their full potential.  Each year, we hear incredible stories of how our talented, dedicated teachers and principals are bringing the vision of Inspiring Education to life.  We’re proud to recognize their achievements and their contributions to building Alberta.”- Jeff Johnson, Minister of Education

Nominations are being accepted by Alberta Education until February 7, 2014.  Approximately 130 semi-finalists will be selected, with 20 receiving Excellence in Teaching Awards.  Award recipients will be presented with certificates of recognition and funding for professional development during a formal ceremony in May 2014.

Since 1989, more than 9,000 nominations have been submitted and more than 500 teachers and principals have received Excellence in Teaching Awards.

Alberta Education presents the 26th annual Excellence in Teaching Awards with the support of the Alberta School Boards’ Association, the Alberta School Councils’ Association, the Alberta Teachers’ Association, the Association of Alberta Deans of Education, the Council on Alberta Teaching Standards and the Edmonton Journal.
