"Ways to Use AFA Programs ... for AFA States & Chapters"

Purpose

The purpose of the program is to recognize classroom teachers at the chapter level for their accomplishments and achievements in exciting K-12 students about science and math (STEM) and preparing them to use and contribute to tomorrow’s technologies. This is a unique opportunity for chapters to reward special teachers who are furthering excellence and making coming to class an adventure.

  • Chapters located in states without a state organization may select either a Chapter or State Teacher of the Year but not both.
