Opportunities for Collaboration with Texas A&M University

 

Collaboration opportunities for middle schools:

1. Yearly Drawing and Essay Contest for Middle Schools
Students from middle schools across the nation are invited to participate.     Learn more about these contests!
    
2. Meritorious Achievement Awards to local math and science educators
     The Texas A&M University Chapter of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society takes great pleasure in recognizing our many outstanding public school science and math teachers.

Each year Sigma Xi confers meritorious achievement awards to local math and science educators. These awards are the following:

       2013 Outstanding Elementary School Science or Math Teacher,
       2013 Outstanding Middle School Science or Math Teacher, and
       2013 Outstanding High School Science or Math Teacher.

Winners of these awards will be recognized at the Sigma Xi Awards Banquet scheduled for May. In addition, each Science or Math Teacher award winner will receive a $500 cash prize and a plaque from Sigma Xi commemorating their achievement.  We would like to encourage you to nominate at least one of your exceptional teachers. The nominee should, in your opinion, have made a significant contribution to fostering an interest in science or math among their students and/or have interacted with scientists or participated in professional development opportunities to improve the quality of their instruction.  We hope that you will take this opportunity to recognize your deserving teachers by forwarding their nomination letter for our consideration.
