CORE Education Foundation awards announced

New Zealand not-for-profit research and education organisation CORE Education announces the new CORE Education Foundation Awards.

These awards comprise:

• The CORE Education eFellowships (applications open in March).
   
• Travel Award for a Teacher’s contribution to Thought Leadership in Education (available June-July).
   
• Professional Learning Awards (available June - July).

CORE Education general manager Ali Hughes says CORE has been planning for some time to combine its various educational support activities under one banner.

“The foundation will support these endeavours reflecting CORE’s charitable purposes. It’s important to us to return investment to the wider education sector to stimulate and support best practice and new educational development,” she says.

CORE Education director research Vince Ham encourages educators to bookmark the CORE Education website to watch for details of the various awards and criteria.

Details about the eFellowships are available on-line. The aim of the eFellowships is to celebrate and recognise excellence in elearning practice by educators in state, integrated and independent primary and secondary schools and early childhood (including private) centres.

Recipients of the eFellowship Awards will be supported to take part in a series of teaching Master Classes during the year, conduct professional enquiries into innovative elearning practices in their schools, and share their expert knowledge with colleagues.

eFellowship applications close on Monday, 12th April.
