[YAPA] RETRACTION: Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching

[Rich DeLombard]

It appears that nominations for this year ARE CLOSED !!!!!!

I just got this notice today!  If you check the PAEMST.ORG web site  
you'll see this notice:
"Nominations for secondary math and science teachers have closed for  
the current year."

I apologize for any problems this caused for you.  I usually check  
things out before sending them on, but this slipped past me.  I"m not  
sure why NASA HQ sent this out worded like this.

Thanks to Mark W for bringing this fact to my attention.

Sorry,


Dick

The National Science Foundation currently is accepting nominations and  
applications for the 2009 Presidential Awards for Excellence in  
Mathematics and Science Teaching, or PAEMST, program. PAEMST is the  
highest recognition that a kindergarten through 12th-grade 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. Awardees serve as models for their  
colleagues, inspiration to their communities, and leaders in the  
improvement of mathematics and science education.

To apply, teachers must first be nominated for the award. Teachers may  
nominate themselves or may be nominated by someone else (e.g.,  
principals, teachers, parents or other members of the public). Once  
nominated, teachers will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to  
access the online application. The application deadline for secondary  
school teachers (grades 7-12) is May 1, 2009. Elementary school  
teachers (grades K-6) are eligible to apply in 2010.

Online nomination forms are available at www.paemst.org .

The National Science Foundation administers PAEMST on the behalf of  
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
