Meadowdale High School teacher Dianne Thompson is among six Washington math and science teachers who have been selected as finalists for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching (PAEMST) Award, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) said.
“Math and science are powerful building blocks for our students as they grow into the leaders of tomorrow,” said Chris Reykdal, Superintendent of Public Instruction. “I am inspired by the way these educators include dynamic learning opportunities, cutting edge research, and connections to the community in their lessons.”
The PAEMST program was first established by Congress in 1983. The program recognizes exemplary teaching in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in K–12 classrooms.
