What's New?
The nomination form for the Presidential Award for Excellence in
Mathematics and Science Teaching is now available online. Nominations
are open to secondary (grades 7-12) math and science teachers who meet the
eligibility requirements (see below).
Nominations are due by March 1, 2009. Nominations are being accepted
(online only). Applications are due by May 1, 2009. The online application
system will open for 2009 applications in mid-November 2008.
What Are the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and
Science Teaching?
The Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching
(PAEMST) is the highest recognition that a kindergarten through 12th-grade
mathematics or science teacher may receive for outstanding teaching in the
United States. Enacted by Congress in 1983, this program authorizes the
President to bestow up to 108 awards each year. The National Science
Foundation administers PAEMST on behalf of The White House Office of
Science and Technology Policy.
Awards are given to mathematics and science teachers from each of the 50
states and four U.S. jurisdictions. The jurisdictions are Washington, D.C.;
Puerto Rico; Department of Defense Schools; and the U.S. territories as a
group (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands).The teachers are recognized for their
contributions to teaching and learning and their ability to help students make
progress in mathematics and science. In addition to honoring individual
achievement, the goal of the award program is to exemplify the highest
standards of mathematics and science teaching. Awardees serve as models for
their colleagues, inspiration to their communities, and leaders in the
improvement of mathematics and science education.
Why Apply?
Recipients of the award receive the following: A citation signed by the President
of the United States. A paid trip for two to Washington, D.C., 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. 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.
