1. Description
Chapter Teacher of the Year
STEM teachers shape the future of our nation - introducing students to exciting new concepts and offering a glimpse into what's possible. The very best educators transform learning into a boundless adventure and prepare their classes to explore new frontiers of technology for the good of us all. Along with grants and scholarships, the Air Force Association believes that recognizing those who educate America's youth is an important aspect of what AFA is all about. Every year, AFA's Teacher of the Year program sponsored by Rolls-Royce proudly honors the commitment and achievements of these extraordinary teachers.
2. Eligibility
- Local AFA chapters select one Teacher of the Year for this award, which salutes those classroom educators who steer their students toward greatness in STEM fields.
- Chapters may select one ToY from any grade level (K-12) for submission to AFA National to receive award components
- If the chapter wishes to recognize more than one Chapter ToYs, they may do so but would need to contact AFA National to purchase additional Chapter ToY award components.
- AFA elected officers, voting board members, employees, and their immediate family members (spouse/children) are not eligible for this recognition.
