Outstanding Education Support Team Award
The Outstanding Education Support Team Award recognises practice by school education support teams that foster a culture of high performance and continuous improvement in supporting schools to achieve high student outcomes.
This award aims to raise awareness of the importance of establishing and maintaining effective school services to make a direct contribution to the school's capacity to achieve its educational objectives. Principals and teaching staff rely on education support staff to achieve quality outcomes for their students. Education support officers assist the educational program of the school by providing operational, professional or para-professional support, including direct assistance to teachers in the delivery of educational programs.
Award details:
- The opportunity for the successful team to document and share its practice with other schools across the state
- $10,000 to be used to cover costs associated with travel, accommodation, leave, further professional learning and any other support required to document and share this team practice.
Guidelines
Winners of this award were announced at the Victorian Education Excellence Awards on Friday 15 May 2009.
