This scholarship is open to all primary and secondary teachers currently teaching in NSW schools. The scholarship is for the study and investigation of new, emerging and existing technologies and how they could be applied in the context of effective teaching practice in NSW curriculum in the K-12 range.
Teachers applying will need to demonstrate:
- competence in incorporating technologies in their teaching method
- capacity to develop within students learning skills based on their appropriate engagement
- that their study tour will advance understanding of how different technologies can contribute to improved educational outcomes
Education Perfect will support the scholar by:
- providing an introduction about the topic including an overview of new, emerging and existing teaching and learning technologies

The successful applicant will undertake a study tour and follow-up activities of up to five weeks within Australia, with optional virtual international connections undertaken as appropriate. Study tour travel is to be completed in one block by 30 June 2023, with individual follow-up activities and reporting to be completed within 90 days of study tour completion.
Time may involve formal study (eg, undertaking a short course at a respected tertiary institution) or may involve a program of visits to sites, schools and institutions to conduct interviews, observe exemplary practices and collect resources for the preparation of teaching materials related to the specific scholarship category.
A portion of time (up to one week) should be allocated toward follow-up dissemination activities (eg, experience-sharing, professional learning) within and across NSW, either in-person or virtually. Study tour follow-up activities and outcomes should ideally include specific reference to enhancing rural and regional education.
