MPE Teacher Receives National Teaching Award
President Joe Biden has named six Delaware teachers recipients of the 2021 – 2023 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). Included are BSD teachers Maria Cobb (Mount Pleasant Elementary School) and Michael Reitemeyer (Mount Pleasant High School).
The PAEMST is the highest recognition that a kindergarten through 12th grade science, technology, engineering, or mathematics teacher may receive for outstanding teaching in the United States. Up to 112 teachers are recognized each year.
Presidential Awardees receive a certificate signed by the President of the United States, a trip to Washington D.C. to attend a series of recognition events and professional development opportunities and a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation.
Awardees also join an active network of outstanding educators from throughout the nation. Since 1983, more than 5,500 teachers have been recognized for their contributions in the classroom and to their profession. Awardees reflect the expertise and dedication of the Nation’s teaching corps, and they demonstrate the positive impact of excellent teachers on student achievement.
