National Science Teachers Association Invites Applications for Shell Science Teaching Award

A partnership between Shell Oil Company and the National Science Teachers Association, the Shell Science Teaching Award recognizes one outstanding classroom teacher (grades K-12) who has had a positive impact on his or her students, school, and the community through exemplary science teaching.

Nominees must be classroom teachers whose responsibilities include teaching science. Nominees must have a minimum of eight years of experience (not including the current school year) as a teacher of science, and must teach in a private or public school in the United States, U.S. Territories, Department of Defense schools, or in Canada.

Special projects may be mentioned but should not be the main focus of the candidate's application.

The honoree will receive $10,000. The recipient and the two finalists will each receive an all-expense-paid trip to attend the NSTA National Conference on Science Education.

Ten semifinalists will receive certificates of distinction.
