FUNDING SOURCES Mathematical Perspectives Teacher Development Center specializes in long-term, ongoing professional development for K-6 math teachers. There are many funding sources available to schools for both our workshops and long-term, ongoing programs. Some of the most popular sources available to schools and teachers include, but are not limited to: National Government Funding Sources U.S. Department of Education (Main Page) National Science Foundation (Teacher Enhancement Program, SSI, USP, RSI) Local Education Agency Grants • Title I Eisenhower Professional Development State Grants • Title II Corporate and Private Foundations ExxonMobile Education Foundation Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Grants and Special Awards for Math Teachers Presidential Award for Excellence in Math & Science Teaching The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) Program was established in 1983 by The White House and is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The program identifies outstanding science and mathematics teachers, kindergarten through 12th grade, in each state and the four U.S. jurisdictions. These teachers will serve as models for their colleagues and will be leaders in the improvement of science and mathematics education. Awardees each receive a $7,500 educational grant for his or her school, a presidential citation and a trip to Washington, D.C. for a series of recognition events.
