Each year the Fund for the City of New York, along with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, recognizes and celebrates seven extraordinary science and math teachers who achieve superb results inspiring students to learn, enjoy, excel and often pursue careers in STEM-related fields. To qualify for nomination, a teacher must be a New York City high school math or science teacher for at least five years, must teach at least four periods a day, and demonstrate excellence in teaching and in achieving results. The winners are chosen by an independent panel of distinguished scientists, mathematicians and educators. Seven awards are given. Each winning teacher will receive $5,000 and the school’s science or mathematics department will receive $2,500 to be used to strengthen its program. Nominations are welcome from principals, supervisors, colleagues, students, former students, parents and others who are familiar with the teacher’s work.
