Each year during the proceedings of the NCTM Annual Conference, the Benjamin Banneker Association, Inc. hosts a reception to recognize local mathematics educators who have successfully used noteworthy and innovative instruction to close the achievement gap for African American children.

The honorees for this year’s reception will be chosen from among mathematics educators in the Washington, D.C. area. One educator will be selected from each grade band: elementary, middle school and high school.

Please submit the nomination form to Kimberly Epps (kepps456@gmail.com) by April 9, 2018.

We encourage you to nominate educators who have made notable accomplishments in teaching mathematics to African American children in his or her classroom/school and have displayed evidence of outstanding leadership in education.

Nominations can be submitted by any individual; you do not have to be a member of the Benjamin Banneker Association.  The individuals identified by our program committee as Outstanding Mathematics Educators will be honored during our reception in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, April 26, 2018.
