CALLING ALL MATH HEROES!

NEA Today, Feb 2006

Do you stand and deliver? Do you-or someone you know-make great strides helping students understand and enjoy mathematics? Raytheon Company's MathMovesU Grants and Scholarships Program recognizes educators who inspire students by creating fun, challenging, and innovative learning environments.

Up to three awards of 52,500 each will be granted to recipients in each of the target markets where Raytheon has a presence (Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, and Texas); eight additional grants will be awarded outside of these target markets.

A matching award will go to the school where each recipient is employed, or to another math-related nonprofit organization of the recipient's choice.

Applicants must be nominated by students, other teachers, principals, parents, or school volunteers, and must teach fulltime in a middle or high school in the United States. Applications must be received by February 15, 2006.
