PAEMST Nominations

Nominate an Outstanding Secondary Teacher for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching

Nominations and applications for the 2024 Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) will be accepted this fall. The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching are the nation's highest honors for teachers of mathematics and science. Teachers in grades K-6 with at least five years of teaching experience are eligible for the 2024 award. Teachers applying for the 2024 PAEMST award must be nominated and self-nominations are accepted.

Up to 5 state finalists will be chosen by a State Selection Committee. The Minnesota Council of Teachers of Mathematics honors each of the state finalists with a paid two-year membership in MCTM and a complimentary registration for the Minnesota Spring Mathematics Conference. One of the three state finalists will be selected by a National Selection Committee as The Presidential Award winner for Minnesota. The state Presidential Award winner is announced by the White House. The state Presidential Award winner will receive a $10,000 cash award from the National Science Foundation and will be invited to Washington, DC for a week of recognition.

Please consider nominating an outstanding mathematics teacher in grades K-6 for this prestigious honor. The 2025 award will be open to teachers in grades K-6.
