Excellence in teaching awards

Parents, teacher-colleagues, principals, superintendents and all Albertans are encouraged to show appreciation by nominating an outstanding teacher or principal for an Excellence in Teaching Award.

The selection committee looks for specific examples of excellence in a variety of areas, including knowledge of subject matter, effectiveness with students, creative and innovative teaching practices, involvement with parents, and collaboration with colleagues. In addition, three recipients are chosen for the SMARTer Kids Foundation Innovative Use of Technology Award for demonstrating these qualities through the use of electronic technology. There will be a total of 23 awards.

For almost 20 years, the Excellence in Teaching Awards has recognized the innovative and outstanding teaching that takes place every day in classrooms across Alberta. This program provides Albertans with a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the many contributions teachers make to student learning.

The nomination package for the 2007 awards is available for download.

Individual electronic nomination forms are also available online:
