What is the ISPA SuperTeacher Competition?
The 2018 ISPA SuperTeacher Competition is an annual competition sponsored by the Internet Service Providers’ Association (ISPA) and WASPA. The competition is managed by the Digital Education Institute.
This prestigious competition has a proud history going back to 2001, when ISPA launched the competition to support their Train the Teacher ICT Project. This year we will be focusing on classroom practice as well as personal teacher development. We are hoping to extend the competition to include many more teachers.
What is the aim?
The ISPA SuperTeacher Competition gives educators an opportunity to showcase their skills in using Information Communication Technologies (ICT) to improve the educational environment within their
classroom, school or community.
Who is eligible?
All educators currently teaching at schools throughout South Africa.
What will be required for entry?
Teachers will be taken through an online process of creating an ICT enhanced project for submission. Training and professional development webinars assist and motivate teachers to innovate. Internet access is therefore important.
