About sendmyteacher.com

The Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy works with local superintendents to select teacher teams from communities where Phil Mickelson plays on the PGA Tour or where ExxonMobil has operations. Beginning in 2008, the Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy expanded opportunities for teachers across the country to apply to attend the Academy by launching sendmyteacher.com, an interactive Web site that allows students to nominate their third- through fifth-grade teacher to be one of the 200 teachers selected for an all-expense paid trip to a math and science professional development program. Students can send their teachers an electronic note or print out a certificate to encourage them to apply for the program. Teachers are also able to self nominate for consideration.

Applications for the 2011 Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy are due by October 31, 2010. At that time, the National Science Teachers Association and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics will convene a panel of math and science experts to evaluate the entries and select teachers who will attend the 2010 Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy. Selections will be announced in April 2011.
