What is C.A.R.E.?
We created the C.A.R.E. Awards in 2020 as a response to the numerous difficulties COVID19 brought to educators – through these awards we wanted to recognize teachers who have been Curious, Adaptable, Resilient and Empathetic with their students!
There are many qualities to an effective and memorable teacher and among those, they are keen to spread positivity, and they genuinely enjoy teaching and engaging with students.
They are also reflective, open to change and always welcome new ideas.
But with all these great qualities there is one common driving force behind – the passion in what they do.
Voting for the 2022 CARE Awards is from May 2-20.
