Alberta Teachers and Principals Honoured for Inspiring Students April 1, 2011 Alberta teachers and principals honoured for inspiring students Edmonton... Alberta teachers and principals are being honoured as semi-finalists for the province’s teaching awards for inspiring Kindergarten to Grade 12 students and for their contributions to the teaching profession. This year, 135 semi-finalists are being recognized as part of the 2011 Excellence in Teaching Awards. They were selected from 326 eligible nominations. “Teachers make a valuable and lasting contribution to the lives of their students, and to the province as a whole. The Excellence in Teaching Awards program is our way to say thank you for a job very well done,” said Dave Hancock, Minister of Education. “I applaud all nominees for using their creativity and innovation to motivate students to succeed.” Award nominees must show leadership, demonstrate creativity and innovation, work collaboratively with colleagues, and create positive learning environments that motivate students to excel. &nbspNominations include statements of support from the nominee’s principal or superintendent, a teacher colleague and a member of the public. Semi-finalists and award recipients are selected by a committee made up of representatives from the education community. The program recognizes semi-finalists across the province at regional celebrations. In addition, semi-finalists can access up to $1,500 for professional development. From the 135 semi-finalists, 23 award recipients will be selected and honoured in Edmonton on May 28 at a dinner and awards ceremony. Twenty award recipients will be able to access up to $4,000 for professional development, while three teachers who receive the SMART Technologies Innovative Use of Technology Awards will receive a comprehensive technology package, which includes a SMART board. Alberta Education hosts the 23rd Annual Excellence in Teaching Awards with the support of the Alberta School Councils’ Association, the Alberta School Boards Association, The Alberta Teachers’ Association, the Association of Alberta Deans of Education, the College of Alberta School Superintendents, the Council on Alberta Teaching Standards, the Edmonton Journal, and SMART Technologies. Albertans have celebrated Excellence in Teaching since 1989, with more than 8,000 teachers nominated and more than 450 award recipients.
