COVID-19 DIARY – EXCELLENT LEADERSHIP IN LEARNING AND TEACHING AND INNOVATION IN TEACHING FINALISTS FOR 2020 TEACHX AWARDS AVAILABLE AT QUEENSLAND COLLEGE OF TEACHERS
The TEACHX Awards are held annually by the Queensland College of Teachers to recognise some great teachers in our community and to elevate the profession.
In the year of COVID-19, the need for teachers to be flexible, hard working, innovative and dedicated to the education of students was on display more than ever.
The QCT received close to 400 nominations of which 74 nominees were shortlisted.
In each of the six awards categories there were five finalists.
Out of those 30 teachers I personally interviewed 15 of them and drafted 14 media releases.

Your wonderful interviews are a great reminder, Lloyd, of this exceptionally difficult year for teachers and the celebration of each one’s ingenuity and tenacity.
More excellent people featured, Lloyd. I saw ‘Gaming Sport’ featured on the BBC News here. People paying a lot of money to watch other people play video games. It was completely lost on me of course! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
It has a lot of exciting applications, was a great rye opener for me. I played my share of video games in my younger years. I’m sometimes tempted to get one of those mini players where you can play old games but given my lack of productivity currently I dare not risk it. 😉 Best wishes Pete.
Yes a dreadful year particularly where teachers have been forced to work at high risk of getting COVID-19. But its also been an inspiring year as shown by some of the stories here. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts about people such as Ron Armstrong and Chantelle Amson and so forth. Look forward to hearing what you think as a teacher yourself John.

Thank you Jet, they really are some very special people. Hope you are well.

Yes, it has been a dreadful year for teachers and as an ex-teacher myself, I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been.
