The Cooper Foundation Awards for Excellence in Teaching originated in 1981 to recognize and reward classroom teachers who submit innovative ideas and projects judged most likely to improve teaching and learning in the subject areas of economics, fine arts, foreign languages, geography, global studies, mathematics, and science. Each year the Foundation funds 35 $1,000 cash awards in the eligible subject areas. This document presents a compilation of the 35 winning projects submitted by K-12 teachers in 1992 in the eligible subject areas. Thirty-five projects are presented in this compilation. Each project includes an abstract, lesson plan, recommended grade levels, time requirements, activities, hand-outs, and support materials. (LL)
