Eastgate Elementary teacher Jen Warner received a Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, East Helena Superintendent Dan Rispens told trustees at their regular Feb. 10 board meeting.
The competitive award is offered each year to veteran elementary and secondary teachers in each state who demonstrate excellence in science and math instruction and professional teaching practice. The program is administered by the National Science Foundation, and nominee applications are vetted by scientists, mathematicians, and engineers, as well as experienced science and math teachers and administrators.
“Every moment in her classroom is an opportunity for kids to learn,” Eastgate Principal Brandon Crusat told the board of Warner’s teaching skills.
In addition to a $10,000 cash award, Warner will travel to Washington, D.C., later this year to receive recognition and participate in professional development seminars.
