The Australian Academy of Science today announced its Teacher Awards, recognising outstanding teachers of science from every Australian State and Territory.
Awardees are chosen for their stellar contributions to science education and their prizes bring them to Canberra to attend the Academy’s annual three-day celebration of science and scientists, Science at the Shine Dome.
“I warmly congratulate the deserving winners of our 2012 Teacher Awards,” said Academy President, Professor Suzanne Cory.
At Science at the Shine Dome, held from 2-4 May, Teacher Award winners will meet with Australia’s top scientists and hear about their cutting-edge research, exchange ideas with interstate colleagues, and participate in an interactive education workshop.
“We know from previous years that the teachers enthusiastically share their new skills and knowledge with colleagues upon their return home” Professor Cory added.
