PROUD OF OUR PRESIDENTIAL AWARDEES! As announced on June 25, 2018 |
Ms Woolrich earns the award for Science for 2016. | HEATHER WOLLRICH of Anchorage School District She says: The incredible honor of the Presidential Award not only recognizes my work as an educator, but also those who have influenced me as a teacher. This honor is shared with my family, colleagues, and mentors who have encouraged and supported me in my work. This award also honors my students who have taught me so much about the trust and excitement that each day’s learning experiences can bring. Their enthusiasm, frustrations, and accomplishments encourage me to excel each day. | Ms. Kueter earns the award for Mathematics for 2016. | JENNIFER KUETER of Anchorage School District She says: The Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching demonstrates that I am making a difference. It confirms that my hands-on, student-based way of teaching mathematics is effective and respected in the teaching community. Being a PAEMST winner opens new doors of opportunity for professional growth. I can connect with educators who strive to improve education allowing me to be a more effective teacher. I will make a difference in my classroom, community, state and country. |
****************** For more information on how to apply for the PRESIDENTIAL AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN MATH AND SCIENCE TEACHING or nominate someone else, go to PAEMST or contact Joey Jigliotti for science or Sandy Schoff for math. The 2018 nomination period has passed. The 2019 nomination period is for secondary teachers, grades 7-12, and will open this fall. The process of applying is itself professional development in its purest form, away from the oversight of administrators or actual instructors. It is a time for self-reflection and celebrating your intrinsic gifts as a teacher. Keep science and math education moving forward and in the news! |
