Congratulations to Candace Kanja for being granted the 2009 Siemens Teacher Award for AP Teachers (Calculus). She was one of only 50 teachers nationwide to be granted this honor, and is the only teacher from Hawaii to receive this prestigious award. From this, MPI will receive a $1,000 grant from Siemens to support math education.
"I feel honored and flattered to have won the Siemens Award," Kanja said. "I know several past winners, and I feel honored to be included in that group of teachers. My receiving this award is a reflection of the strength of the entire mathematics program at MPI. Because learning math is a cumulative process, the success that the AP Calculus students and I have enjoyed is the result of my colleagues providing students with a solid foundation in all of the pre-calculus concepts."
