The Connecticut Noyce Math Teacher Leaders Program is a 5-year program comprising a variety of activities to build capacity for math teacher leadership among the cohort of 20 veteran Alliance district secondary math teachers. Given its goals, and focus on Alliance districts, we have the opportunity to adjust programming in ways that are responsive and supportive for the local context. The plans provide the structure and an overview.
