The
Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and
Science Teaching is the highest recognition that a kindergarten
through 12th-grade mathematics or science teacher may
receive for outstanding teaching in the United States.
Enacted by Congress in 1983 and administered by the
National Science Foundation, this program authorizes
the President to bestow up to 108 awards each year.
In
addition to honoring individual achievement, the goal
of the award program is to exemplify the highest standards
of mathematics and science teaching. Awardees serve
as models for their colleagues, inspiration to their
communities, and leaders in the improvement of mathematics
and science education. For more information on PAEMST,
