This institute will provide you with tools and strategies designed to strengthen your math and science instructional programs. As part of this institute, teachers will attend selected Dana Center professional development sessions.

Participating teams will learn how to increase the effectiveness of their school's instructional program. During this professional development series, school teams will work with a Dana Center team to implement some key elements of school redesign for improvement.

In this session, you will:

• Work as a campus team for about 25% of the time on strategies to strengthen the effectiveness of your instructional program.
• Learn problem-solving skills and strategies to inform your decisionmaking processes (campus leaders).
• Draw on and implement lessons from the Dana Center’s resources for K-12 mathematics (mathematics teachers) and K-12 science (science teachers).
• Work with other content teachers while learning how to deliver effective content that accelerates student interest and achievement (mathematics and science teachers).
