| Recognition of the 2010/2011 Teacher Recipients of the Promoting Regional Interest in Science and Mathematics (PRISM) for Exemplary Teachers of Excellence and Teachers of Promise in Grades K-12 (Curriculum and Instruction Division) | |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| The Exemplary Teacher Program was initiated by PRISM and the Central Florida Public Schools Coalition. Teachers of Excellence have more than three years of experience while the Teachers of Promise have three years or less experience. Principals in grades K-12 schools were asked to submit nominations for their school in each of the categories. Nominated teachers must complete a district application to be considered for the award.
A district committee selected the Teacher of Excellence and Teacher of Promise for each of the grade levels, K-5, 6-8, and 9-12, for both mathematics and science. The selection criteria included increasing student achievement, hands-on experiences, cooperative work, multimedia resources, participation in content area competitions, participation and leading professional development, and participation in district curriculum and assessment committees. |
