Hot List 2019 | The Educator K/12

Welcome to The Educator’s fourth annual Hot List. Another year has passed, and education professionals around Australia continue to push ahead with the critical responsibility of ensuring that all students have the highest-quality educational experiences.

Identifying the educators whose tireless work merits recognition remains an unenviable task, and one that remains virtually impossible without the assistance of our readers. The Educator turned to you to tell us who you think deserves a place on this prestigious list, and we were once again inundated with excellent nominations from across Australia.

That made the process of narrowing down the candidates rather arduous, but the 50 individuals on the following pages truly represent the cutting edge of educational excellence in Australia.
