At Cambridge, we are incredibly proud of teachers; they are the key to inspiring children to engage in, and benefit from education so that they may go on to shape the world. We believe that the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive global citizens.
The Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards offer a unique opportunity to celebrate teachers worldwide. We invite you to nominate a current primary or secondary teacher who has made a difference.
A panel of judges select nine regional winners who will all feature on a thank you page at the beginning of new Cambridge University Press & Assessment international education books. They will also win a class set of books of their choice.
The public then vote to determine the global winner of the Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards. For full terms and conditions, go to our privacy page.
