Since 1979, Prentice Hall Publishing Company, in cooperation with the National Science Education Leadership Association, has presented the prestigious Outstanding Leadership in Science Education Award to an outstanding member who leads the school, school district, region, state, or area as science supervisor.

From time to time, we as science educators need to obtain the support of an administrator whose primary responsibility is outside the area of science instruction. Kendall Hunt Publishing Company has partnered with NSELA to recognize an outstanding administrator who supports science instruction.
