CSTA Awards Program Statement of Philosophy
CSTA believes that the importance of science education cannot be overstated.
Given the essential presence of the sciences in understanding
the past and planning for the future, science education remains
and will increasingly be one of the most important disciplines
in education. CSTA is committed to recognizing and encouraging
excellence in science teaching through the presentation of
awards to science educators who have made outstanding contributions
in science education in the state and who are poised to continue
the momentum of providing high quality, relevant science education
into the future. Meet
the 2008 award winners!
The CSTA Awards Program includes the following awards:
The Margaret Nicholson Distinguished Service Award,
which honors an individual who has made a significant contribution
to science education in the state and who, through years of
leadership and service, has truly made a positive impact on
the quality of science teaching.
The CSTA Future Science Teacher Award, which
recognizes college students who demonstrate an interest in
and commitment to science education through volunteer, teaching,
and professional organization activities and who show promise
to become outstanding science educators. No more than two
Future Science Teacher Awards will be awarded in any year.
