Leadership and Teaching Awards

Each year since 1995, TCTM has accepted nominations for two awards for leaders in our professional community.  The Nancy Trapp TCTM Leadership Award is presented to a TCTM member for their contribution to mathematics education at the local or state level.   The second award, the E. Glenadine Gibb Achievement Award, is presented to someone for their contributions to mathematics education at the state or national level.   Nominations for both awards must be made by a TCTM member.  An additional award, the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST), is national recognition of teachers of STEM-related areas and is awarded by the National Science Foundation.  This award provides national recognition for teachers of STEM that demonstrate deep content knowledge and ability to engage and inspire students to be successful in those area.
