SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Presidential Awards for Excellence in
Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST): State Coordinators
Questionnaire.
OMB Number: 3145-0241.
Abstract: The PAEMST is a White House program established by
Congress in 1983 authorizing the President to bestow up to 108 awards
each year to teachers of mathematics and science at the elementary and
secondary levels. The NSF is the designated federal agency for
administration of this Presidential program. Awards are given in the
Mathematics Category (includes mathematics and Computer Science/
Technology) and the Science Category (includes science and engineering)
to teachers from each of the 50 states and four U.S. jurisdictions. The
jurisdictions are Washington DC; Puerto Rico; Department of Defense
Education
[[Page 43062]]
Activity schools; and the U.S. territories as a group (American Samoa,
Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands). The award recognizes those teachers who develop and
implement a high-quality instructional program that is informed by
content knowledge and enhances student learning. Since the program's
inception, more than 5,200 teachers have been recognized for their
contributions in the classroom and to their profession. Awardees serve
as models for their colleagues, inspiration to their communities, and
leaders in the improvement of STEM education.
The State or Jurisdiction Coordinator (SC) manages the PAEMST
program within his or her state or jurisdiction. SCs recruit eligible
nominees, select and assign mentors to nominees, coordinate the
selection committee, and plan local recognition events within their
State or Jurisdiction. They also carry out the responsibilities as
noted in the ``Operational Handbook for State and Jurisdiction STEM
Coordinators.''
The purpose of this survey is to seek feedback from the
approximately 120 SCs regarding PAEMST management within their state or
jurisdiction. The NSF PAEMST support team will ask directed questions
using the survey to gather information that may specifically address
the methods and recruitment efforts that SCs use to support the
attracting of prospective award nominees. Additional survey areas may
also include:
<bullet> Applicant Mentoring
<bullet> Mentor Training
<bullet> State or Jurisdiction selection Committee
<bullet> State or Jurisdiction selection Process
<bullet> Applicant and State or Jurisdiction Finalist Notification and
Recognition
<bullet> In-kind contributions
The survey will evaluate the impact SCs have on attracting
prospective award nominees to PAEMST. This will be conducted as a web-
based survey.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 30-40 minutes for State/
Jurisdiction Coordinators.
Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Responses per Form: 120 Coordinators.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 80 hours (120
Coordinators at 40 minutes per survey = 80 hours).
Frequency of Response: One per application cycle.
Dated: July 13, 2022.
