How are websites selected?
The website selection process begins with an open call for nominations
posted on our website and on several humanities listservs. The EDSITEment staff, along with members of the NEH Education Division, screen each website nominated and determine which ones meet the basic criteria for panel review. The Peer Review Panel, composed of master teachers, college and university faculty, and administrators from across the country, review the websites before meeting to discuss the selections at the National Endowment for the Humanities headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Members of the Peer Review Panel recommend the finalists based on EDSITEment’s evaluation criteria: intellectual quality, creative design, and educational impact.
May I nominate a website?
