Educator Recognition Programs
Teaching is both an art and science, the most difficult, most rewarding, and most important of careers. While all classroom teachers should be recognized on a daily basis, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education annually honors exemplary educators through various recognition programs, including Massachusetts Teacher of the Year, Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) and the History Teacher of the Year Program.
