Teacher Study Awards and Sabbaticals
Recently the Ministry has opened applications for teachers to apply for an opportunity to take a sabbatical break (or undertake a course of study).
These were part of recent collective bargaining gains and represent a tremendous opportunity for teachers to reflect and rejuvenate. Applications for the secondary awards close on the 7th June (day after Queen's birthday Monday).
The two full pay categories that staff can apply for are;
1. One term sabbatical - taken in a negotiated time/term in 2016. These are linked in part to teachers taking an opportunity to professionally develop (visiting schools or researching). Nationally there are 50 of these available.
2. Study award - these can be either part-time or full time for a year. Nationally there are 75 of these available.
Further information and applications forms are available online at www.teachnz.govt.nz
