Know a great math or science teacher?
Nominate a teacher to receive the Presidential Award
for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching
The National Science Foundation currently is accepting nominations and applications for the 2019 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) program. PAEMST is the highest recognition that a mathematics or science teacher may receive for outstanding teaching in the United States. This program recognizes teachers for their contributions to teaching and learning and their ability to help students make progress in mathematics and science.
This year's awards will honor science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and/computer science teachers working in grades 7-12.
State Presidential Award finalists receive a $500 unrestricted cash award and an invitation to a professional development conference sponsored by Westar Energy, Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation and the Kansas State Department of Education.
National Presidential Awardees receive a citation 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, and a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation.
To apply, teachers must first be nominated for the award. Teachers can nominate themselves or be nominated by someone else, such as principals, teachers, parents or members of the general public. Once nominated, teachers will receive an email with instructions on how to access the online application.
The program is now accepting nominations for kindergarten through sixth-grade teachers for the nation’s highest honor for mathematics and science teachers.
The nomination deadline is March 1, 2019, and the application deadline is May 1, 2019.
Please consider nominating an outstanding mathematics or science teacher today! To make a nomination, go to www.paemst.org, and then click on Nominate a Teacher.
