ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
All staff members currently teaching in the province’s Anglophone public schools are eligible to be nominated for the 2011-12 Ministers’ Excellence in Teaching Award.
The recipients will be chosen for:
- supporting the needs of diverse learners of the 21st century at the school, district and provincial levels,
and
- their contribution towards a positive and inclusive school environment for all students.
Their initiatives must benefit students above all and must produce tangible results in the school.
NOMINATIONS
Nominations for the Excellence in Teaching Award may be submitted by individuals or groups (Parent School Support Committees, Home and School Associations, student councils, branches of the teachers’ association) in the nominee’s school district.
Only individuals may be nominated for this award. There is no group award!
District Education Council members and school district office employees are ineligible to submit nominations because they may be asked to sit on the selection committee.
Before submitting a nomination, you must obtain the nominee’s consent. Once that is done, simply fill out the attached nomination form and send it to your school district office to the attention of the District Education Council Chair no later than June 8, 2012.
Nominations submitted by one person must be supported by two other people who know the nominee and can attest to his/her achievements.
No individual or group may submit more than one nomination in a given year.
SELECTION OF RECIPIENTS
Minister’s Excellence in Teaching Award recipients are chosen by the District Education Councils in co-operation with the superintendent or designate.
AWARDS
Every year, one teacher in each school district will receive the Minister’s Excellence in Teaching Award.
The awards are presented by the Minister of Education during a special ceremony to be held in November in Fredericton.
