Rosa announced today. The PAEMST, one of the most prestigious honors in the nation for teachers, recognizes exemplary teaching and leadership in mathematics and science education.

���Our PAEMST finalists are leaders in the classroom and among their colleagues,��� said Chancellor Lester W. Young, Jr. ���Their ability to motivate and enable students to be successful in STEM subjects while maintaining a high level of rigor demonstrates their commitment to their students and the principles of teaching.���

The State Finalists complete a rigorous application process that requires them to demonstrate their excellence in content knowledge and effective use of instructional methods and assessments to evaluate, monitor, and improve student learning. State Finalists are chosen by a state selection committee consisting of teachers, district personnel, representatives from educator organizations, and past awardees.

The State Finalists��� applications are then submitted to the PAEMST National Selection Committee in Washington D.C., which will determine the final award winners from each state. The PAEMST National Selection Committee is comprised of prominent mathematicians, scientists, mathematics/science education researchers and leaders, district-level personnel, and classroom teachers.

Teachers selected as PAEMST National Awardees receive a Presidential certificate, a $10,000 award from National Science Foundation (NSF), and join an elite cohort of award-winning teachers who can influence state and national STEM teaching.
