The National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI) All American Teacher of the Year Award is presented annually to outstanding AP math, science, and English teachers for remarkable contributions to their students as well as to the teaching profession. Competition for the award is open to current participating teachers in Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Programs (APTIP) in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Texas, and Virginia. There will be three award winners selected from each state, one for each subject, math, science, English (MSE), totaling 21 MSE award winners. This year NMSI will also recognize our virtual learning and Initiative for Military Families (IMF) teachers. An “Excellence in Virtual Teaching” award will be given to one teacher participating in the “Learning Power” program in South Dakota and a “Military Education Award” will be given to one teacher participating in program schools that are currently part of IMF.
Each recognized teacher will receive a trophy, $2,000 and and an all‐expenses paid trip for one to the award events being held in Washington, D.C. May 25‐26, 2011.
Teachers may nominate themselves or may be nominated by content directors, board members, school leaders, or colleagues. The 18 honorees will be notified in mid-April 2011.
