ESAAPG Earth Science Teacher of the Year Award
The American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) sponsors an annual national Teacher of the Year (TOTY) award program. The goal is to recognize and encourage educators in K-12 Earth Sciences and Natural Resources. The Eastern Section (ES) of the AAPG https://www.esaapg.org/ promotes this as well with its own annual award. The society recently increased their award from $1000 to $2500 to better reflect the importance of the work educators do.
