Dear Science Supervisor:

The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) would like to celebrate earth science teachers in your school district. That is why I am sharing details on how teachers can apply for the 2018 Edward C. Roy, Jr. Award for Excellence in K-8 Earth Science Teaching.
This annual award is presented to one teacher of grades K-8 in the United States or Key Stages 1-3 in the United Kingdom each year. The award recognizes leadership and innovation in Earth science education.
The winner of the Edward C. Roy Award will receive a cash prize and an additional travel grant to attend the National Science Teachers Association Annual Conference (NSTA) in Atlanta in March 2018. To be eligible, applications must be submitted by January 22, 2018.
The Edward C. Roy Award is given in honor of Dr. Edward C. Roy, Jr., a strong and dedicated supporter of Earth science education. For more information on requirements, application procedures and deadlines, please click here.
