The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) are the highest honors bestowed by the United States government specifically for K-12 science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and/or computer science teaching. Anyone--principals, teachers, parents, students, or members of the general public-- may nominate exceptional STEM teachers who are currently teaching grades K-6 for the 2019-2020 award year. Teachers may also apply directly at www.paemst.org. The nomination deadline is March 1, 2020 and the application deadline is May 1, 2020, for elementary school teachers (grades K-6). Secondary school teachers (grades 7-12) will be eligible to apply during a future cycle. Wren Hoffman |
