1. made an outstanding contribution to the educational advancement of their students

The award is intended to recognise the efforts of ECAWA members who are contributing very significantly to the use of learning technologies in their schools.While it is understood that university based educators, school administrators and district / regional personnel also contribute to the professional computer education community, this award focuses on the efforts of school-based educators. Nominees must be based in a school and considered a member of that school’s teaching staff.
