Nominate Outstanding Teachers for the 2007 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching

(Got an email today from Jo Scott at PAEMST asking if I could post this, and it looks decidedly worth posting, so consider the word passed along -- Chris)

Show your support for outstanding mathematics and science teachers in your community by nominating them for the 2007 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. Each year, on behalf of The White House, the National Science Foundation selects highly qualified teachers based on their deep mathematics or science content knowledge and their ability to show evidence of student progress in these areas.

The call for nominations for the 2007 awards is open! The nomination and application period for the nation’s highest honor for mathematics and science teachers will close May 1, 2007. Nominate 7th-12th grade teachers today by visiting www.paemst.org .

K-6th grade teachers may be nominated in 2008.

As presidential winners, award recipients receive the following:

A citation signed by the President of the United States.

The opportunity to join a dynamic network of Presidential awardees.

A paid trip for two to Washington, DC, to attend a weeklong series of recognition events and professional development opportunities.

Gifts from program sponsors from around the country.

A $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation.

Nominate a teacher today! Eligibility requirements, nomination guidelines, and application information are available at http://www.paemst.org.
