Teaching awards 'have wide effect'
June 23 2010
Winning a teaching award affects not just the individual, but the whole school, it has been claimed.
Chief executive of the Teaching Awards, Caroline Evans, recently told the Guardian that winning an award, particularly one where a nomination has come from a parent or pupil, can provide a benefit to the whole school, not just the nominated person with a teaching job.
She noted that one head teacher recently told her how winning an award had "given the whole school a lift".
"If someone is nominated by a parent or pupils or colleagues, that means an awful lot," she said.
Ms Evans added that some communities have real challenges and that being nominated by the people in such communities "is priceless".
Her comments followed the regional final for the south-west of the Teaching Awards. Winners of each regional final go through to the national final, which is scheduled to take place in October. Nominations for the 2011 awards can be made now.
