08 Apr Teaching Earth and Beyond Competition

Posted at 14:35h in News by

As part of its 200 year anniversary celebrations the SAAO invites all teachers to enter our Teaching Earth and Beyond competition. The aim is to showcase teachers who have implemented innovative ways of bringing this important field across to their learners.

To enter the competition send us a 5-10 minute long video of yourself teaching Earth and Beyond in an engaging manner. You may use any readily available utensils while teaching. The video should show you,  but no students/learners should be in the video.

There will be five winners, all of whom will receive a laptop.

All entries must be submitted with the form below.
