2021 winners of Global Teacher Prize and How it is organized

-

The Global Teacher Prize strives to highlight the importance of educators and the fact that their work should be recognized and acknowledged all around the world. It aims to recognize the positive effects of the best teachers not only on their students but also on the communities in which they work.

Why Teachers?

Inadequate education is a major contributor to the world’s current social, political, economic, and health problems. Education, we believe, has the capacity to alleviate poverty, bigotry, and conflict.

Teachers work tirelessly to offer an education for children all across the world, thus their standing is vital to our collective future. Recruitment, retention, work satisfaction, and performance are all influenced by a teacher’s position.

Global Teacher Prize: the impact

We feel the Global Teacher Prize is making a significant difference in the profession and has a beneficial impact at both the local and global levels.

The reward received almost 5,000 entries from 127 countries in its first year, generating a lot of media attention. Reporting from across the world has been overwhelmingly positive for the selected instructors, with His Holiness Pope Francis, Prince William, Prince Harry, Stephen Hawking, Hugh Jackman, and Bill Gates among those who have spoken out in favor.

Eligibility

The Prize is accessible to presently employed teachers who deal with children in compulsory education or who are between the ages of five and eighteen. Teachers who educate children aged 4 and up in an Early Years government-recognized curriculum, as well as part-time teachers and online course instructors, are all eligible. Teachers must spend at least 10 hours each week face-to-face teaching students and plan to stay in the classroom for the next five years. The Prize is open to teachers in any type of school and in any country in the world, according to local legislation.

Criteria

The Global Teacher Prize applicants will be examined on a stringent set of criteria in order to discover an exceptional teacher who has made a significant contribution to the profession. The Academy will look for proof of a number of things, including:

  1. Using excellent instructional approaches that are reproducible and scalable to improve educational quality around the world.
  2. Using creative teaching approaches to address the specific issues faced by the school, community, or country, and which have been proved to be effective in tackling those challenges in a novel way.
  3. In the classroom, achieving proven student learning outcomes.
  4. Community impact that provides distinctive and distinguished models of excellence for the teaching profession and those outside of the classroom.
  5. Assisting students in becoming global citizens by providing them with a values-based education that prepares them for a future in which they may live, work, and socialize with people of many nationalities, ethnicities, and religions.
  6. Improving the teaching profession by assisting colleagues in overcoming obstacles in their schools, exchanging best practices, and assisting colleagues in raising the bar of teaching.
  7. Governments, national teaching organizations, headmasters, colleagues, people of the community, or students recognize teachers.
  8. Governments, national teaching organizations, headmasters, colleagues, people of the community, or students recognize teachers.
