Objectives and Eligibility
 
Objectives
 
CEATE aims to:
  (a) recognise accomplished teachers who demonstrate exemplary teaching practices;
  (b) enhance the professional image and the social status of teachers, thereby gaining society’s recognition of the teaching profession and fostering a culture of respect for teachers;
  (c) pool together accomplished teachers through the CEATE Teachers Association to facilitate sharing of good practices; and
  (d) foster a culture of excellence in the teaching profession.
 
CEATE is not intended to prescribe a rigid model of excellence for every teacher.  Instead, it seeks to recognise effective teaching practices and stresses the promotion of a culture of excellence and collaboration. It symbolises the awarded teachers’ excellent efforts and dedicated commitment.
