Educator Award

Kate Mullin Educator Award 2023

Are you (or do you know) an Australian educator who has helped to improve English language and literacy outcomes for Aboriginal students, while maintaining links to Aboriginal culture and identity?

The Kate Mullin Educator Award aims to recognise and celebrate educators who demonstrate excellence in the teaching of English to Aboriginal students, whose first language may be Aboriginal English, an Aboriginal Language or a creole such as the Kimberley Kriol.  The educator can self-nominate or be nominated by a line-manager, colleague, student or community member.

The total Award is $3000. The winner(s) will be announced at the Westralian Association of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (WATESOL) AGM in November 2022.  Applications are invited from both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal teachers, and other Aboriginal Educators including Education Officers, Education Workers, and/or Liaison Officers. The award is open to colleagues who make a joint application, or to individual applicants.  Applications will be judged on merit, based on the criteria of the applicant’s role in the classroom.
