Twenty-four teachers receive

the "excellence" award each year. Elementary, middle and high

school teachers are selected to represent each of the eight GCTM regions

in Georgia. Chambers represents the Central West region and was the only

Fayette County teacher to receive the award.

In order to be nominated for

the honor, teachers must have taught mathematics for at least three years

in Georgia, possess strong content foundation in mathematics appropriate

for their content level and show evidence of growth in the teaching of

mathematics.

The Roundtable Coalition will

present a seminar in honor of recipients of the 2001 award in Savannah

this October. In addition, Chambers has been invited to conduct a session

on the topic of her choice at the Georgia Mathematics Conference Oct.

18-20 at Rock Eagle.

Conference officials say that

Chambers has been invited to speak due to her recognized abilities as

a mathematics teacher.
