Sir Colin Humphreys Education Award
The Sir Colin Humphreys Education Award recognises the crucial contribution that those working in the 5-18 education sector make to enhancing students' literacy in STEM, in particular through the teaching of the materials, minerals and mining topics in the curriculum. The Award is open to those working within primary and secondary schools, sixth form and FE Colleges in the state and independent sector.
The judges are looking for evidence of:
- Sustained effort over a number of years encouraging learners
- Sharing best practice with colleagues in the nominee's establishment and beyond
- What they have done above and beyond their everyday role.
These will be measured against what the nominee is expected to do as part of their normal role and the environment in which they are working.
The winner will receive a medal.
