Award Winners for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching Announced
Posted on: Saturday, 4 June 2005, 03:00 CDT
Each year, some of the best math and science teachers in the United States are recognized by their peers and honored with Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, which are administered by the National Science Foundation. Awardees spend a week in Washington, DC, attending conferences, workshops, and meetings with agency leaders and members of congress, in addition to participating in Science Committee hearings in the House of Representatives.
AIBS, a strong supporter of this event for several years, was one of the participating organizations in an "information exchange" for the awardees held 15 April 2005 at the Capital Hilton hotel. More than 30 professional organizations and government agencies participated in the exchange, during which AIBS staff met with awardees and shared with them some of the information and resources AIBS offers to those in the education field.
For more information on the awards program, go to www.paemst.org, or contact Abraham Parker, AIBS education and outreach program assistant (e-mail: aparker@aibs.org).
