Kendall Hunt/NSELA Outstanding Administrative Support Award (OASA)
Many science leaders are fortunate to have an administrator who supports the science instructional program in their school or district. The administrator may be a superintendent, assistant superintendent, school principal, or director of curriculum and/or instruction. The support from the administrator could range from attending a staff development in-service to the implementation of a new science program.
From time to time, we as science educators need to obtain the support of an administrator whose primary responsibility is outside the area of science instruction. Kendall Hunt Publishing Company has partnered with NSELA to recognize an outstanding administrator who supports science instruction.
Award:
The winner will receive a plaque and a check for $1,000 from Kendall Hunt. A reception will be given by Kendall Hunt Publishing Company in the recipient's honor on Friday evening at NSTA's National Convention. An article detailing the awardee's contributions will be included in The Navigator, the NSELA newsletter, that is published quarterly. The award winner will receive one year free membership to NSELA. NSELA's Regional Directors will judge the award based on the information provided on the Kendall Hunt/NSELA Outstanding Administrator Support Award application.
