Do you know or are you an exemplary math or science teacher in seventh through twelfth grade? Please consider nominating him/her/them for the PAEMST Awards. The Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching is the highest recognition a K-12 teacher can receive for outstanding science or mathematics teaching in the United States. Why apply? Recipients of the award receive the following: • A certificate signed by the President of the United States. • A paid trip for two to Washington, D.C., to attend a series of recognition events and professional development opportunities. • A $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation. In addition to recognizing outstanding teaching in mathematics or science, the program provides teachers with an opportunity to build lasting partnerships with colleagues across the nation. This growing network of award-winning teachers serves as a vital resource for improving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education and keeping America globally competitive. Awardees are recognized for their contributions to teaching and learning and their ability to help students make progress in mathematics and science. Nominations are being accepted online (paemst.org) for the 2015 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. Teachers may nominate themselves or someone else (e.g., principals, teachers, parents, or other members of the general public) may nominate them for this award. The PAEMST Online Application opened on November 1, 2014. To apply, teachers must first be nominated for the award. Once nominated, teachers will receive an email with a login and password to access the online application. The application deadline for secondary teachers (Grades seven through twelve) is May 1, 2015. Elementary teachers (Kindergarten through sixth grade) are eligible to apply in 2016. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact, Betty Crowder, our State Coordinator, at [email protected].
