Five 澳门特码王 mathematics and science teachers are state-level finalists for the 2017-18 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) at the elementary school level, grades K-6, State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia announced today. In addition, the White House announced the 2016 PAEMST awardees from each state, including two awardees from New York, on June 25, 2018. The PAEMST is one of the highest honors in the nation for teachers of mathematics and science. The award recognizes outstanding teaching and leadership in science and mathematics education.

鈥淭hese teachers make mathematics and science content come alive in their classrooms,鈥� said Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa. 鈥淭hey work hard every day to provide their students with a compelling and innovative learning experience. New York is fortunate to have such excellent educators and leaders in the STEM subjects.鈥�

鈥淭eaching is a difficult job, especially when teaching complex subjects like mathematics and science,鈥� Commissioner Elia said. 鈥淭he teachers being recognized as PAEMST awardees and finalists have become masters of their craft. Our students are lucky to have these teachers and the countless others who do an outstanding job every day in our classrooms.鈥�

The 2016 PAEMST awardees from New York, who were recently announced by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, are:

2016 PAEMST 澳门特码王 Mathematics Awardee (K-6)

2016 PAEMST 澳门特码王 Science Awardee (K-6)

Awardees for the Presidential Award of Excellence in Math and Science Teaching complete a rigorous application process that requires them to demonstrate their excellence in content knowledge and ability to adapt to a broad range of learners and teaching environments. A panel of distinguished mathematicians, scientists and educators at the state and national levels assess the applications before recommending nominees to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Teachers are selected at both levels based on their distinction in the classroom and dedication to improving STEM education.

The 2017-18 PAEMST finalists from New York are:

2017-2018 PAEMST 澳门特码王 Mathematics Finalists (K-6)

2017-2018 PAEMST 澳门特码王 Science Finalists (K-6)

The State finalists are chosen by a state selection committee made up of teachers, district personnel, representatives from higher education, and past awardees. Each finalist demonstrated content knowledge, as well as an effective use of instructional methods and assessments to evaluate, monitor, and improve student learning. The finalists also serve as leaders in education outside of the classroom.

This year, New York was able to recognize up to three Mathematics finalists and three Science finalists. The finalists鈥� applications were then submitted to the PAEMST Review and Selection Committee, which will determine the final award winners from each state.

The PAEMST was established by the White House in 1983 and is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Every year, the President of the United States recognizes outstanding teachers in Mathematics and Science (including computer science) from across the nation.
