MAASFEP: Minnesota Association of Administrators of State & Federal Education Programs
The Senator Paul Wellstone Memorial Award
Related Documents:
MAASFEP believes it to be particularly appropriate to honor the memory of Senator Wellstone because of his unrelenting support of public education, particularly the education of those living in poverty.
MAASFEP annually presents the Paul Wellstone Memorial Award in the amount of $2500 to an individual or team who works with federal or state programs in Minnesota. This Award will support the efforts of an individual or team to implement a new project that they developed around a specified theme. The themes rotate between:
- Improving Math (2010)
- Family Involvement (2011)
- Improving Literacy (2012)
Each year the award will be announced at the spring conference, with project implementation planned for the following school year. The award of $2500 will be used to provide all or part of the funding necessary for project implementation. The project manager will be invited to present a break-out session on the project and lessons learned at the fall MAASFEP conference the year following implementation. Upon completion of the project and the breakout session presentation, an additional $250 stipend will be awarded to the project manager. In addition, over time, this award will provide an opportunity for our membership to view various peer project models from development through implementation as the award winner(s) will be asked to present at a future MAASFEP Conference.
This professional award will provide paraprofessionals, teachers, and/or administrators who work directly with federal or state programs an opportunity to implement a project of their own design that would meet the learning needs of their community. It recognizes both the expertise of MAASFEP members in understanding their students' academic needs as well as their ability to develop supplemental educational projects to meet those needs.
Project Criteria:
- The development of a new endeavor focused on the specified theme.
- Affects a number of students, parents and/or staff by individual or group efforts.
- The demonstration of the development of an innovative program and/or the demonstration of innovative curriculum development.
Applications must be post marked by January 31, 2010 to be considered. The winner of this award will be notified no later than March 31, 2010.
