Is
your PE teacher a pillar of positivity helping pupils overcome issues
of confidence and low self esteem? Perhaps your sports teacher is a
shining star leading individuals towards a life-changing path?
Nominations for the prestigious ITV Teacher of the Year awards, to be
presented during the Daily Mirror’s Pride of Britain Awards shown on
ITV, are now being taken and the Youth Sport Trust wants to encourage
anyone considering nominating a member of their PE teaching staff to
apply.
We know just how powerful a medium sport is and just how wide reaching
its impact can be, but we also know just how much more successful it
can be when harnessed by an exceptional member of staff. Now is your
chance to tell the nation about an influential PE teacher at your
school who is showing a unique and inspirational approach to their work
in order to have a positive impact on the learning and development of
young people.
Perhaps they have set up an out-of-school club targeted at pupils at
risk of opting out of school life, initiated targeted programmes such
as Sky Living For Sport, to support disaffected and disadvantaged
pupils or maybe they are taking volunteering to new heights, working
with pupils, including their Young Ambassadors or Gifted and Talented
youngsters, to support sporting endeavours in the community. Whatever
it is that they are doing, if you think it is worthy of recognition,
follow the link below and get typing!

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
