Recognition Intended To Encourage Excellence In Aerospace Education
The National Aviation Hall of Fame (NAHF) is pleased to announce it is the new steward and host of the prestigious, annual Crossfield Award to encourage and recognize excellence in aerospace education.
In a news release, the NAHF said it believes "the late aviation legend and 1983 enshrinee would not mind at all that we continue to use his own heartfelt words to announce the opening of this year’s nomination process.
"It is again time to announce that nominations for the A. Scott Crossfield Aerospace Education Teacher of the Year Award are open. This award for a classroom teacher is in memory of the public school teachers who so wondrously influenced my whole life. It is dedicated to the past recipients, who in addition to having proven their dedication and worth to aerospace education, have all gone on to greater contributions of major significance. The objective is to recognize and reward aerospace education teachers for outstanding achievement in aerospace education and to encourage further achievement in teaching aerospace.”
The A. Scott Crossfield Aerospace Education Teacher of the Year Award (the Crossfield Award) is presented to recognize and reward aerospace education classroom teachers for outstanding accomplishments in aerospace education and for possessing those honorable attributes we expect from American Teachers.
Nominees must be current classroom teachers from grades kindergarten through twelfth from any public, private, or parochial school.
