There’s more to being an excellent educator than reading, writing and arithmetic. Teachers give their students the tools they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. If you know an educator who goes beyond the call of duty, nominate him or her for the OTIP Teaching Awards. Presented annually, the awards recognize outstanding teachers in the categories of elementary, secondary and beginning teacher. Nominations open in January 2010. Visit www.teachingawards.ca for more information and nomination forms.
