It was a privilege to finish World Teachers’ Day 2021 with some of SA’s driven and inspiring educators at the Educators SA awards ceremony held at the Wine Centre, Adelaide.

Lindsey Crowe, from Visual Arts Educators SA, is the 2021 winner of the Induction and Mentoring of Early Careers Educators Award sponsored by the TRB.

Lindsey, who teaches at Heathfield High, is an outstanding arts leader. She has mentored numerous pre-service teachers throughout her career and has maintained continuing mentor relationships with many of them.

As a committee member over the past 18 months, Lindsey has championed the needs of early career arts teachers. This has resulted in the association establishing network meetings and social media groups specifically designed for early career teachers.

Lindsey’s support for them has been invaluable in helping the next generation of art teachers to feel confident in their ability to support their students.

We congratulate Lindsey on a well-deserved award in this category.

There is a bright future for education in SA. See the full list of the 2021 winners on the Educators SA website here.
