The Cann Awards to honor outstanding
educators
Many adults credit an outstanding teacher with instilling the
knowledge, insights, confidence and leadership behaviors that
shaped them to become the person they are today. To celebrate these
exceptional teachers and recognize their contributions to society,
global education technology leader Promethean has created The Cann
Awards. Established in honor of Tony Cann, Promethean’s founder,
The Cann Awards seek to honor the best in teaching from around the
world.
“Teachers inspire us to be our best – to strive to achieve more
than we think we are capable of,” said Jim Marshall, CEO of
Promethean. “Year after year, teachers across the globe encourage
students, motivate them to learn, and guide them to realizing their
full potential. If a teacher touched your life, made you feel
important, or helped you become the person you are today, The Cann
Awards is an opportunity to say ‘Thank You’ and to share the
teacher’s story with the world.”
Beginning Sept. 10, 2014, residents of Australia, Austria,
Canada, China, France, Germany, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the
United States are invited to nominate a teacher who played an
integral role in their lives. Entrants may nominate a former
teacher by sharing their story through a written essay or a short
video/audio tribute. Five teachers will be selected as winners. In
addition to being recognized as a recipient of a 2015 Cann Award,
Promethean will make a $2,500 donation to the charity or nonprofit
organization of the teacher’s choice.
The mission of The Cann Awards is to identify and celebrate the
world’s most exemplary teachers. Promethean will form a panel of
judges to evaluate all submissions to select the best teachers
who:
- Displayed excellent leadership
qualities
- Encouraged students to explore and
create
- Inspired critical thinking among
students
- Prioritized the individual needs of
each learner
- Gave successful direction to students’
future plans
- Motivated students toward positive ways
of thinking and living
- Developed problem solving skills and
attitudes in students.
The nomination period for the 2014-2015 cycle of The Cann Awards
opens Sept. 10 and runs through Nov. 15, 2014. Winners will be
announced on Jan. 10, 2015. The five winning teachers, a guest of
each one and the former student who nominated them will attend an
event in Atlanta, Ga. in January 2015 to receive the award.
