Science Teaching Tools
This program is a joint effort between individual AFCEA Chapters and the
Educational Foundation
to promote effective science teaching and to enhance the abilities
of capable teachers in K-12 schools nationwide. The AFCEA
Educational Foundation will provide $1,000 for an elementary, middle or high school science teacher to purchase supplies and/or
equipment that would augment science experiments and activities
in the classroom.
Checks to participating chapters are mailed to chapter presidents each September.

Guidelines:
1. Individual AFCEA chapters select
one elementary, middle or high school science teacher in the local community. Teachers
working in schools which are poorly supported and/or with
economically disadvantaged students are to be considered
first. The awards are not limited to public schools. International
chapters may select a science teacher from a DoDD school.
2. Selection should be based on
the teacher's skills, his/her potential to use the funds
well and financial need. The method of selection is entirely
at the discretion of the individual chapter..
3. The AFCEA Educational Foundation
will provide $1,000 per school year per chapter. Except
in unusual circumstances, the award is not renewable to
the same teacher or school. Chapters are encouraged to provide
additional money should their local means allow and multiply
the number of awards. Chapters are encouraged to make a
substantial impact in one location rather than a wide dispersion
of funds.
4. Each participating chapter will
receive $1,000 from the Educational Foundation in September each year for the school year beginning in
September. The funds are to be presented by a chapter representative
directly to the selected teacher(s) and then disbursed by the teacher(s)
for consumable materials or other equipment that would support
experiments in science education.
5. To confirm continued participation
in the program, each chapter is asked to submit a short
(1 page) statement to the Educational Foundation which
includes:
