Excellence in teaching
Congratulations to teachers recognised in the 2009 Awards for Teaching Excellence.
The Australian Awards for Teaching Excellence are an initiative of Teaching Australia. They celebrate teaching and its pivotal role in nation building.
Coral Connor, a Mathematics teacher from Northern Beaches Christian School has been recognised in the 'Excellence by a Teacher' category, while Leigh Williams from Christian Outreach College is recognised for excellence in the 'Beginning Teacher' category.
Coral is an innovator in the application of new technologies to the teaching of Mathematics, both for online and onsite students. Her methodology helps to bring maths alive to all students, including those with learning difficulties and disabilities. Coral's citation is on the Teaching Australia site
Leigh "stretches her students academically, motivates them intellectually and inspires them with a passion for mathematics and science," her citation says. It notes that despite being at an early stageg of her career, Leigh shows leadership both in and outside her school.
The awards were presented by Education Minister Julia Gillard during a ceremony at Parliament House, Canberra, to mark World Teachers Day.
Congratulations to Coral, Leigh, and all excellent teachers!
