9728365 Kellor Project Description Since 1983, the National Science Foundation has administered the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching Program (PAEMST) on behalf of the White House. The Council of State Science Supervisors (CSSS) proposes to conduct a conference for state and jurisdictional level science and mathematics coordinators, who have as part of their responsibilities, the implementation of the PAEMST Program at the state level. CSSS is uniquely qualified to conduct the conference, as they are the membership organization for the science supervisors in all fifty states. PAEMST recognizes outstanding mathematics and science teachers K-12. Recognition begins with the selection of state and jurisdictional finalists in the categories of elementary science, secondary science, elementary mathematics, and secondary mathematics. Finalists' names are forwarded to NSF where a national selection committee, composed of outstanding mathematicians, scientists, and educators, recommends awardees in each category. These names are then forwarded to the White House for final approval. This is an extremely important effort, as there are several issues that need attention by the state and jurisdictional chairs for the PAEMST program, such as consistency and fairness in selecting state finalists, efforts to increase the participation of underserved minority teachers, appropriate recognition and later utilization of awardees at the state level, connecting awardees at the state and national levels with significant education reform efforts in mathematics and science. This conference provides the only forum for state and jurisdictional chairs to meet and create plans to address these issues.

9728365凯勒项目描述自1983年以来，美国国家科学基金会一直代表白宫管理总统数学和科学卓越教学计划奖。州科学监督员委员会(CSSS)提议为州和辖区一级的科学和数学协调员举办一次会议，他们的职责之一是在州一级实施PAEMST计划。CSSS是唯一有资格主持这次会议的组织，因为他们是所有50个州的科学监督员的成员组织。PAEMST表彰优秀的数学和科学教师K-12。认可始于初等科学、中等科学、初级数学和中等数学类别的州和司法决赛入围者的选择。最终入围者的名字将被转发给NSF，由杰出的数学家、科学家和教育工作者组成的全国遴选委员会推荐每个类别的获奖者。然后，这些名字将被提交给白宫进行最终批准。这是一项极其重要的努力，因为PAEMST项目有几个问题需要州和司法主管部门的关注，例如，在选择州决赛选手时的一致性和公平性，努力增加未得到充分服务的少数族裔教师的参与，适当承认和后来利用州一级的获奖者，将州和国家一级的获奖者与重大的数学和科学教育改革努力联系起来。这次会议为各州和司法机构主席举行会议并制定解决这些问题的计划提供了唯一的论坛。
