Discussion Focus: The Essential Conditions identified in the Equity in Mathematics Education: A Joint Position Statement for Connecticut which was fully endorsed by the State Board of Education September 6, 2023.
In collaboration with Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Research and Reform in Education, The Math Learning Center (MLC) is seeking district partners for a research project involving our newest edition of Bridges in Mathematics Third Edition. As you may have heard,the latest edition of Bridges in Mathematics is designed to promote deep understanding of mathematical concepts, proficiency with key skills, and the ability to solve complex problems. During Bridges instruction, students are actively engaged as capable mathematical sensemakers, drawing upon their knowledge bases to support learning. Bridges also supports teachers in delivering engaging, rigorous, standards-based instruction while incorporating equitable and effective teaching practices.
The goals of the research project are to:
Benefits of the project include:
To be eligible, districts must:

Calling all 9th-12th grade students! Join the Battelle Climate Challenge and be a catalyst for change. This is your opportunity to showcase your creativity and innovation and learn about climate change and resilience. Not only will you make a genuine impact, but you’ll also have the chance to learn from experts at our free Climate Resilience Webinar, score exciting prizes, and form connections with fellow sustainability enthusiasts. Don’t miss out on the chance to be a part of the solution. Sign up now and make a difference for our planet’s future!
Challenge Info: If you are a 9-12th grade student in the United States, your challenge is to research past and future impacts of climate-related hazards in your community, including drought, wildfire, flooding, and extreme heat, then develop a proposed action to help build a more resilient community. Your entry must be original and include a written explanation of your proposed climate action (200 words max) and an image (max 3GB) of a “poster” that supports your climate action. The poster can be a digital design or a photo of a hand-made poster. Your climate action should explain at least one way your community can prevent, withstand, respond to, or recover from a climate-related event. The grand prize winner will present their poster at the Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference in Washington, D.C., and receive a $5,000 STEM grant for a U.S. nonprofit organization, public library, or public school. The 2nd – 5th place finalists will receive a $1,500 STEM grant for a U.S. nonprofit organization, public library, or public school.
The Elementary Master Computer Science Teacher Academy (EMTA) has been successful in CT schools for helping content K-5 teachers leverage CS concepts in their literacy, SEL, math etc. lessons. These teachers then go on to work with teachers in their buildings bridging concepts together to make learning fun and engaging for their students. Sacred Heart University’s CS-PLAN will by holding a hybrid workshop to help districts identify and develop teachers to become Master CS Coaches. The first session begins November 10, 2023, and Scholarships are available. Attached please find the flyer and reach out to Susan Auchincloss atauchinclosss@sacredheart.edu
