An outstanding teacher deserves something exceptional
Each school day, parents hand over their most precious gift – their children – to teachers. With this gesture of trust comes the deeply challenging task of guiding our youth to becoming effective, empowered, creative adults.
The Premier's Awards for Teaching Excellence recognize educators and staff who excel at unlocking the potential of Ontario's young people. This is your opportunity to give these remarkable professionals the recognition they deserve.
Who is eligible?
The awards are open to anyone who is employed by a publicly funded school or board/authority in Ontario. You can nominate teachers, support staff, principals and vice-principals, supervisory officers, directors of education and many others.
Do you know a special teacher who makes learning come to life? A support staff member who helps kids overcome obstacles? A school or board leader who rallied a community to make a difference in the lives of their students?
There are many ways to be an outstanding educator or staff person, and as many reasons to nominate someone for a Premier's Award.
Anyone can submit a nomination. Students, parents, teachers, community members – whoever you are, if you know an outstanding educator or other staff member, nominate them for a Premier's Award!
