Urban Mathematics Leadership Network
In June 2004, the Charles A. Dana Center, Achieve, Inc., and the Institute for Learning, with support from the Noyce Foundation, launched the Urban Mathematics Leadership Network (UMLN). UMLN brings together representatives from a set of states and large districts to address common challenges of creating coherent and aligned systems to improve mathematics programs—including standards, assessments, instructional practice, professional development, and support.
UMLN enables district and state mathematics leaders to work together strategically to better align their mathematics improvement efforts to raise student achievement, and serves as a vehicle for the rapid dissemination of advances and promising practices in mathematics education.
