Linnaeus Union's Teacher of the Year award celebrates the teachers who make a real difference in students' lives – those who inspire through their passion for the subject, create an inclusive classroom or support students in ways that go beyond what is expected.
The award
Teachers play a crucial role in students' education and development. Nominating someone gives you the chance to reflect on the teachers who have had a special impact on your own education.
The award is not just recognition of an individual but a way of emphasising the importance of good teaching. By taking part in the nomination process you contribute to a culture where excellence and commitment in teaching are rewarded – and where teachers feel valued and inspired to keep shaping future generations.
Take the time to think about the teachers who have made a difference for you, and write a nomination that captures the essence of what they mean.
