Celebrating Transformational Use of Technology in Education: Could 2025 Be Your Year?

Educators play a vital role in equipping students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Whether you’re integrating cutting-edge tools into your lessons, creating virtual learning environments, or inspiring the next generation of tech innovators, your work transforms how students engage with technology and education.

The Pearson National Teaching Awards, often called the “Oscars” of teaching, honour the creativity, passion, and dedication of educators like you. Could this be the year your contributions to the transformational use of technology in education are recognised?

Showcase Your Innovation in Technology Integration

The innovative use of technology is central to modern education. The Pearson National Teaching Awards celebrate educators who harness technology to make learning more engaging, impactful, and accessible. By participating, you can share how you:

• Inspire curiosity and creativity through technology.
• Use digital tools to teach practical problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
• Equip students to make informed decisions in a technology-driven world.

From introducing primary pupils to creative coding projects to designing advanced virtual labs for secondary students, your efforts deserve to be showcased. These awards are a platform to highlight the innovative approaches that make technology a transformative force in education.

Celebrate Your School’s Achievements

These awards aren’t just about individual teachers—they recognise the teams and schools that drive success in integrating technology into education. Entering can:

• Boost morale among staff and students.
• Raise awareness of your achievements in technology integration.
• Inspire other schools and educators to improve their own practices.

By shining a spotlight on your school’s use of technology, you can celebrate the collective effort that makes your curriculum a success.
