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

These 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.
