Twenty-three teachers, including Nick Lippman of Mass Insight Education’s Massachusetts Math + Science Initiative (MMSI), were recently named the 2012 All American Teachers of the Year by the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI) – the leading national non-profit organization for improving American students’ math and science achievement. Lippman, of Malden High School, received the award for Massachusetts in the Math category. 

The awards, which recognize outstanding Advanced Placement math, science and English teachers for remarkable contributions to their students and to the teaching profession, are presented to teachers participating in National Math And Science Initiative's Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Program (APTIP).  The 23 award winners will receive a cash award, and each teacher will be recognized at a special awards dinner in Washington, D.C., on May 23, 2012. 

Lippman has combined a love of math with standout dedication at Malden High School to aid students with disabilities, reach out to parents and go out of his way to ensure at-risk students have the best opportunities possible. 

“These teachers have demonstrated a total commitment to their students' academic growth and are truly role models for the other teachers participating in NMSI’s APTIP,” said Dr. Mary Ann Rankin, President and CEO of NMSI.  “Their efforts continue to drive impressive results by their students and inspire other teachers.”

The awards were given to one teacher each in Advanced Placement math, science and English from seven states that participate in AP training and incentive programs, along with two additional awards: a teacher from a school participating in the Initiative for Military Families, which provides APTIP for students from  military families, and a teacher from NMSI’s virtual AP program, Learning Power, in South Dakota.
