SHINE is an education charity that gives children the opportunity to acquire the skills and confidence they need to turn their potential into success at school and beyond.
The charity is currently running its annual Let Teachers SHINE competition. In partnership with TES and Capita SIMS, Let Teachers SHINE seeks to find the next big idea in teaching. The competition closes at midday on 24 April, when SHINE will choose around 10 winning teachers to partner with on their projects.
Now in its sixth year, the Let Teachers SHINE competition aims to find innovative methods of teaching that inspire children to succeed both at school and beyond. The competition is for teacher-led projects that aim to benefit students who experience disadvantage, and try to improve their educational achievement in literacy, numeracy and/or science.
SHINE provides funding of up to £15,000 and other support to help get the projects off the ground, or to launch them to a wider audience. To date, SHINE has invested over £1.4 million into 54 teachers, benefitting thousands of children all over the country.
