System-Wide Change for All Learners and Educators

image for project SCALE SCALE (System-Wide Change for All Learners and Educators) is a partnership involving 7 major educational institutions: the University of Wisconsin's Wisconsin Center for Education Research (WCER), Denver Public Schools, Los Angeles Unified School District, Madison Metropolitan School District and the Providence Public School District, as well as institutions of higher education whose preservice programs provide many new teachers to these districts such as California State University, Dominguez Hills and California State University, Northridge.

The partnership brings together mathematicians, scientists, social scientists, and education practitioners to build a whole new approach to reforming preK-12 mathematics and science education. The partnership seeks to improve the mathematics and science achievement of all students at all grade levels in the four partner school districts by engaging them in deep and authentic science and mathematics instructional experiences.
