IDL Learner Awards - Educator of the Year
The IDL Learner Awards are an opportunity for users of IDL to recognise the achievements of schools, pupils and educators who have engaged with the programme as part of their curriculum.
We are encouraging teachers to submit nominations of other educators for the IDL Educator of the Year Award.
This award recognises educators who have gone above and beyond to support their pupils through the use of the IDL programme. Judges will assess educators on their commitment to the development and education of their pupils, the effectiveness of how the IDL programme has been implemented into the curriculum, and the positive impact that has been made on pupil progress and achievements.
Each school can nominate up to two educators for this award. Educators cannot nominate themselves for this award.
All valid nominations will receive a Certificate of Recognition. The winner of this award will receive a £100 voucher, and the runner up will receive a £50 voucher.
