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.
The Principal Investigator of SCALE is Terrence Millar.
More information can be
found on a separate web site created by this project: http:// scalemsp.wceruw.org/ .
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the SCALE
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
SCALE project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
