GSDMC is asking you to consider nominating an educator outside of the classroom, for their leadership roles in mathematics education. We wish to recognize and honor those who are actively involved in improving mathematics education for all students. Educator candidates may include: Teachers on Special Assignment (TOSA’s), teacher supervisors, school site or district level leaders, technology support for the teaching of mathematics, administrators, and others.
A key part of the process is a nominator (you), entering a candidate and the information for that candidate and yourself. You may wish to scroll down and become familiar with the information we need you supply, so after gathering the information needed, you can easily fill it in, in one session. However, you can enter the information in multiple sessions. At the end of each incomplete session, the system will send you and email with a link to continue the session at later time.
The honorees will be honored at their work sites in the Spring of the 20/21 school year.
Honorees will receive:
- Monetary award of $250 (to be used towards math support or professional development)
- commemorative plaque
- lifetime GSDMC membership
- registration to a future GSDMC conference
- invitation to a GSDMC conference seminar
