$400 in teaching supplies for teachers who use insects as educational tools

The Entomological Society of America (ESA) is awarding educators who have gone beyond the traditional teaching methods by using insects as educational tools. One winner will be chosen from among primary teachers (grades K-6) and one from among secondary teachers (grades 7-12). The recipients will receive a $400 donation made payable to the winner’s school to purchase teaching materials required to expand the use of insects in the teaching curriculum; a $400 award paid directly to the winner for expenses associated with travel required to present a paper or poster on the use of insects in primary or secondary educational programs at a peer professional venue of their choosing; gratis registration to attend ESA’s Annual Meeting; and an $800 award paid directly to the winner for expenses associated with travel, hotel arrangements, and all other costs associated with attending the ESA Annual Meeting.
