Reaching out beyond their classrooms and using their knowledge and talents in community service programs and projects. Teaching Experience: At least five years of successful teaching. Nomination: By one or more current members of CSTA or CSSA, or by self- nomination. Approval: By a 90% vote of Award Committee members (preferably, and usually by unanimous acclamation).
