Teachers: Inspire Your Students

Civil Air Patrol, the United States Air Force Auxiliary is promoting the use of Aerospace Education themes to help teachers excite and motivate their students to excel in science, math, technology, language arts, social studies, plus other traditional subjects.
The Aerospace Education Member (AEM) is a special CAP membership category that entitles teachers to access products and programs designed especially for teaching aerospace and integrating this fascinating subject into curriculum.
One of the many programs that excites AEMs is the Aerospace Education Excellence (AEX) Award program. Other programs are Fly-A-Teacher Program and products such as the International Space Station thematic unit that help teachers inspire their students. For more information about these programs go to the CAP Webpage: www.cap.gov/ae
One of CAP’s award winning program is the National Congress On Aviation and Space Education (NCASE).
NCASE is the premier aerospace education conference in the nation. This Forum is used to promote science, math and technology in the classroom. Presented annually since 1968, NCASE brings together educators from around the nation to learn from a variety of gifted speakers and motivational sessions. Educators share new experiences and discover learning tools that will capture the imagination of their students. Teachers learn how the wonders of aviation and space can be used to teach ordinary subjects in an extraordinary way.
Several awards are presented during the conference including the A. Scott Brewer Trophy, Crossfield Aerospace Education Teacher of the Year Award, National Coalition for Aviation Education Leadership Award and the National Congress Crown Circle for Aerospace Education Leadership.
