1. Video Permission Slip
Dear Parents/Guardians of BSHS AP Calculus BC (Math 5HBC) students:
As a nominee for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching
(PAEMST), I am required to make a video recording demonstrating my practice of teaching
Mathematics. My 1st period Math 5HBC class was recorded on Thursday 9/6/2012 for this purpose. As
a part of the application process, I am also required to post this video on-line. By signing this form, you
give me permission to do so.
The PAEMST is a very prestigious and competitive award. Every other year, only one High School
Mathematics teacher and only one High School Science teacher will be selected from each state. Those
selected for this honor will spend a week in Washington DC meeting with the President of the United
States and the President's Cabinet to discuss ways to improve the practice of teaching and learning
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in our nation's High Schools.
I am humbled to have been nominated for this award. I would very much like to bring this distinction
home to BSHS! However, I need your help. May I ask you and your child to please sign and return this
form in a timely fashion? Once I have all the permission slips, you may view the video on my YouTube
channel, http://www.youtube.com/calcpage2009.
For more information about this award, please visit http://www.paemst.org.
If you have any questions, please email me at garciaa@baldwinschools.org.
Sincerely,
A. Jorge Garcίa
