Expanding Math and Science Reform

The South Sound Science, Math and Technology Consortium, S³MTC, a group of nine districts in the south Puget Sound region has been awarded $85,000 from the Pacific Science Center and OSPI to provide professional development for science teachers during the 2006-2007 school year. The Evergreen Center acts as the fiscal agent for the S³MTC, provides leadership and co- facilitates monthly meetings as the co-director for the consortium. The S³MTC is also a regional LASER Alliance. The Alliance provides science leadership in the region and participates with other regional LASER Alliances in science leadership for the state.The consortium received $50,000 in the 2005-20006 school year and provided 18 or more hours of professional development for over 200 teachers of science. Another 600 teachers received 12 or more hours of professional development in science with about 400 teachers receiving 6 or more hours of professional development. With our $85,000 grant, we are hoping to increase these numbers substantially. During 2005-2006 school year the majority of teachers receiving training in science instruction were elementary teachers. During the 2006-2007 school year we plan on providing training for both elementary teachers and middle school teachers of science.
