Teachers are invited to submit one or more Middle East-related lesson plans they have created. Winning lesson plans will be shared widely with educators through our outreach program. The CMES Outstanding Lesson Plan Award will consist of a $200 cash prize for the winning teacher and a collection of resources for use in the teacher’s school. Second place winner(s) will receive a cash prize of $100, and a selection of resources for use in the teacher’s school. Honorable Mention winners will receive a selection of resources for use in the teacher’s school. School officials of the authors of all lessons chosen for “publication” on our website or other outreach formats will be notified of the teacher’s accomplishment. (Any lessons put on our website remain the property of the teacher who authored the lesson and can be included on other websites/materials as well.) Lesson plans may be in any content area or at any grade level. They should be in a format ready to be used by other teachers who might not have a strong background in the subject presented and should include a concise outline of the academic K-12 standards addressed. Resources necessary for the lesson plans should be noted, linked, or provided, and if any readings or materials are needed to implement the lesson plan, they must be submitted along with the lesson plan.
