Welcome to the Opogo Star Teacher Awards!
A search for quotes relating to teachers quickly highlights how generous and indispensable teachers are. It’s a noble profession – one that creates all other professions!
A Japanese proverb also says, “Better than a 1000 days of diligent study, is one day with a great teacher.” Teachers touch hearts and influence so many young minds throughout the world. In every country there are so many anecdotes of teachers who go beyond their call of duty.
It’s time to celebrate and acknowledge the star people who work in education!
We know education is a demanding sector. Incredibly, 46% of people in education leave the industry after just three years primarily due to a lack of support, an unclear career-path, poor work-life balance and a shortage of resources.
Opogo is the first company to tackle this head-on. In fact, we have a clear, single-minded social mission – to support the lives of everyone in education. And this is where the Opogo Star Teacher Awards originated from.
The teaching profession requires you to be an expert in multiple disciplines – childcare, safe-guarding, first aid, public speaker, parent-teacher negotiator, interior classroom decorator, expert time manager and of course a subject matter expert of Science, English or History.
If you know someone who works in the education sector, they could be a Teacher, Teaching Assistant, In Leadership, work in SEND or Administration – and you feel they should receive some well-deserved recognition, then we’d love to hear from you!
To nominate someone, let us know the following details and give a short reason why they deserve the award (no matter how big or small the reason):
• Add the name(s) of your colleague(s).
• Add the name and postal address of the school that you both work at.
• Add your nominee’s email address.
All winning nominations will receive a big thank you acknowledgment from us and a tin of chocolate biscuits for their school staffroom.
Good luck!
