SHINE, an educational charity, has launched a national competition to find the country's most innovative science teachers

SHINE, an educational charity, has launched a national competition to find the country's most innovative English, maths and science teachers.

Let Teachers SHINE 2013 is open to any qualified teacher working in England with students aged up to 18. The judges will choose up to 10 winning entries. Each one will receive up to £15,000 in funding from SHINE for a year's pilot programme, which must benefit disadvantaged students. The pilot will enable the winning teacher to demonstrate that their idea works as well in practice as it does on paper.
