2007 Presidental Awards for Excellence in Math/Science Teaching - Applications due May 1, 2007
The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) Program was established in 1983 by The White House and is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The program identifies outstanding mathematics and science teachers, kindergarten through 12th grade, in each state and the four U.S. jurisdictions. The program alternates each year between teachers of grades K-6 and teachers of grades 7-12. Teachers of grades 7-12 are eligible for the Presidential Awards in 2007.

Each Presidential Awardee will receive a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation. Each Awardee will also be invited to attend, along with a guest, recognition events in Washington, D.C. during one week in April, 2008. These events will include an award ceremony, a Presidential Citation, meetings with leaders in government and education, sessions to share ideas and teaching experiences, and receptions and banquets to honor recipients.

This is an incredible opportunity to honor our outstanding secondary teachers who teach math or science. We hope you will nominate one or more secondary teachers, and then encourage them to complete and submit the application after they download it from the web site.

There have been several changes to the forms this year, including that a person may self-nominate. For more information, or the nomination and application forms, go to the PAEMST website and click on "Application & Selection." You can download both forms in pdf format. Please nominate a great secondary math teacher whom you think would be an outstanding representative for Alaska.
