The search has begun to find New Zealand’s most inspiring teacher and recognise the thousands of teachers who go above and beyond the call of duty.
To reward the astounding contribution of our nation’s teachers, Warehouse Stationery is calling for students and their parents to nominate teachers who always give 110 per cent. This year builds on the phenomenal success of last year’s inaugural search, which attracted more than 1100 entries nationwide.
It was so successful that this year’s search has been extended to include Early Childhood teachers, as well as Primary and Secondary school teachers.
“We all know how hard teachers work and we launched this competition last year as a means to recognise all those teachers who consistently go the extra mile to make learning-time a rich and rewarding experience,” says Cathy Atkins, Warehouse Stationery head of marketing.
A survey of 300 teachers found that nearly all of them work during the weekend, helping out at sports events, cultural groups, musical productions and use their spare time to catch up on the previous week.
More than half of teachers surveyed also spent at least 10 hours a week after school catching up on marking, lesson plans and other administration.
The survey also found that most teachers spend their own money, over $400 on average, on school related expenses such as classroom stationery (71%), classroom art supplies (46%) and breakfast or lunch for needy students (20%).
Thirty teachers from Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary schools will share in $30,000 worth of classroom supplies from Warehouse Stationery. One of these teachers will be named New Zealand’s Most Inspiring Teacher 2012 and receive a grand prize including a $5000 holiday.
Recognising an inspirational teacher is easy and everyone who nominates a teacher goes into the draw to win a Samsung Galaxy 2 Tablet worth $559.
Simply visit www.inspiringteachers.co.nz before Friday, September 23, to find out more. Winners of the Warehouse Stationery’s Most Inspiring Teachers search will be announced on the 15th of October.
