EDUCATION FOUNDATION
The Council's Education Foundation was established in 1996, in honor of the Council's Tenth Anniversary Year, as a way for the industry to have an impact on the critically important area of the use of technology in the classroom.
The Foundation's goal is to encourage the creation and exchange of best practices in the teaching of science, technology, engineering and math, and to recognize, promote and encourage innovative teaching.
Outstanding contributions in public education too often go unnoticed. To help raise awareness, the Council has established the Above & Beyond Awards. Annually, the Awards acknowledge and reward unsung heroes who are encouraging innovative teaching and learning in Massachusetts schools. They specifically recognize best practices in the teaching of science, technology, engineering and math (grade K-12). Up to 10 Awards are presented each year in the fall. To nominate a teacher, please use the online Award Application. Teachers can apply individually, or as a team. Individual teachers are chosen to receive a $1,000 grant and each team of teachers is chosen to receive a $2,500 grant for classroom use. Please contact Heather Johnson, heather@masstlc.org, if you have any questions or need more information.
