*The 2017 Lifetime Contribution***

*ISDDE Prize for**Design in Science or Mathematics Education*

/Criteria and Guidelines/

The ISDDE 2017 Prize of $5,000 is offered for a substantial body of 
work, by an individual or a team, over a period of years that shows

*excellence in design for education in science or mathematics.*

In awarding The Prize the judges will seek excellence in the art and 
science of design in education.  The overriding criterion will be

*recognition of excellence by a wide range of designers and users.*


The judgment will be informed by *evidence*, formal or informal, of:

.  aspects of design that have moved the field of educational design forward

.  aspects of design that have moved the field of mathematics and/or 
science education forward

.  achievement of specific goals for improved outcomes

.  use of research and the value of resulting insights

.  systematic development through trials with well-identified target 
groups of users

.  valuable unanticipated outcomes related to transformative effects in use

.  surprise and delight -- as in all good art


*Initial Nominations*

Nominations are solicited from Fellows, Members, and friends of ISDDE. 
Do not nominate a designer that belongs to the institution from which 
you receive compensation. Your initial nomination should describe the 
range of work and describe what it has achieved. In a separate 
paragraph, explain why you admire it. This should be no more than two 
pages in length.

*Final Nominations*

For the final contenders for the Prize, the nominator will be invited to 
prepare a more detailed case[1] including:

.  a case for the excellence of the work

.  a portfolio of examples from the work

.  supporting letters from users and others

As with good design, concise cases will normally have more impact.

The prize is open to designers of all nationalities and materials in any 
language, but nominations, cases and supporting letters should be 
presented in English. The identities and contact details of nominators 
and referees will be treated with professional discretion, but /will/ be 
circulated amongst the judging panel. For more information about ISDDE
