Congratulations to Our Shameen Hayat
Excellence in Teaching Award Winner 2010
On
Thursday this week our Head of Social Sciences, Shameen Hayat, was
honoured for her outstanding teaching ability at a special function at
parliament.
Shameen
was one of only four secondary teachers nationally to be the recipient
of a regional Excellence in Teaching Award. It was presented to her by
the Hon Anne Tolley, Minister of Education, at a special luncheon held
in the Grand Hall in Parliament Buildings in Wellington.
The
auspicious nature of the award was also reinforced by the fact that our
Prime Minister the Hon John Key took time out on Budget Day to attend
the luncheon. He actually ended up sitting next to Shameen!
There
were twelve teacher-educators who received awards from across the early
childhood, primary and secondary sectors. Each award winner was required
to speak for 5 minutes on what makes them an excellent teacher. Later
this year several of them will be announced the national winners.
Shameen made a superb speech about the five key aspects of her
pedagogy. Alix Coleman, HOD Art, and Principal Sheryll Ofner were fortunate to accompany
Shameen to Wellington and they both felt so proud that Selwyn College has such
an exemplary teacher!
