Request for Nominations
for Outstanding Science Teacher and Outstanding Mathematics Teacher 2009

The Philadelphia Chapter of the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers is soliciting nominations for the selection of Outstanding Science and Math Teachers for 2009 from within the City of Philadelphia. The winners will be acknowledged by the Philadelphia Chapter at its annual Awards Night in May 2010. Additionally, the Philadelphia winners will be entered into the competition to select the Outstanding Science and Math Teachers for the Delaware Valley as part of the Delaware Valley Engineers Week celebration. Teachers selected as either the Outstanding Science Teacher or the Outstanding Math Teacher for the Delaware Valley will be acknowledged at the Engineers’ Week Banquet in February of 2010.

Please see the links below for the nominating forms. As engineers, we understand and respect the challenges facing your faculty daily and we encourage you, as their principal, to also acknowledge their efforts by nominating an Outstanding Science Teacher and an Outstanding Math Teacher. We hope you agree that just as your students respond to positive encouragement, your teachers need to be recognized for the great job they do. We would also like to point out that candidates who have not been selected in the past are still eligible for nomination. Completed nominating forms must be received prior to December 31, 2009, to be eligible for consideration. Please note that nominated teachers must be currently teaching in their respective disciplines in any of the grades 5 through 12.

Thank you for your attention to this request for nominations. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me by telephone (610-583-3131, extension 149) or e-mail. Nominations should be mailed to me at the address below, e-mailed to teachers@pspe-philly.org or faxed to 610-583-0117.
