The Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence honour outstanding and innovative elementary and secondary school teachers in all disciplines for their remarkable educational achievements and for their commitment to preparing youth for a digital and innovation‑based economy. You can also nominate a teacher for Teaching Excellence in STEM for those who keep students engaged in STEM learning and who help develop the culture of innovation that Canada needs today, and in the future.
Teachers are eligible for two awards; The national Ceritificate of Excellence and the regional Certificate of Achievement. Each year, the Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence awards up to 10 Certificates of Excellence and up to 25 Certificates of Achievement.
Meanwhile, The Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence in STEM awards up to 2 Certificates of Excellence and up to 15 Certificates of Achievement.
The achievements of all recipients are promoted both nationally and in the teachers' home communities. Certificate of Excellence recipients are profiled in individual videos describing their exemplary teaching practices and how they might be replicated by other educators. The videos will be used to dynamically share national recipients' stories with the education community and the media helping to promote their accomplishments. The videos will be posted on-line and shared on social media.
