The deadline for submissions for the Premier’s Award for Teaching Innovation and the Minister’s Award for Compassion in Teaching is May 20, 2022.

The Premier’s Award for Teaching Innovation recognizes primary, elementary or secondary teachers in all disciplines who have demonstrated innovation in instruction and a commitment to preparing their students for future success. School administrators are asked to nominate teachers who have gone above and beyond to find innovative ways to deliver the curriculum in a way that engages students and results in greater educational outcomes for their students.

The Minister’s Award for Compassion in Teaching recognizes inspirational and compassionate teachers at the primary, elementary or secondary level who have demonstrated a commitment to supporting the social, emotional and mental health of their students, colleagues or school community as a whole.

Nominations for these awards will be accepted from colleagues, students, administrators and the school communities. The 2022 Teaching Award guidelines can be found here.

The Honourable Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Honourable Tom Osborne, Minister of Education, will presenting the awards to the recipients later this year.

In October 2021, six teachers were awarded the Premier’s Award for Teaching Innovation and eight received the Minister’s Award for Compassion in Teaching.
