New Zealand’s longest running teaching awards are encouraging parents, and all school community members to nominate extraordinary educators who have displayed outstanding dedication, passion and creativity in the past year.

This year, NEiTA is recognising the critical role early childhood, primary and secondary teachers and principals have played in children’s lives throughout the COVID-19 crisis.  “NEiTA is a tangible way for all members of Australian and New Zealand communities to publicly recognise and applaud inspirational educators, teachers and school principals and give them the opportunity to win a $5,000 or $10,000 professional development grant.”

Nominations can be made until 18 August 2021 via www.neita.com.
