Area Institute for Mathematics and Science |
 Through
a grant from the Whitaker Foundation, the Capital Area Math
and Science Alliance was established in 1995 as a project
of the Council for Public Education. The initial charge was
to serve as a catalyst to bring together education, business,
industry, labor, government, and the community in order to
promote excellence in science, mathematics, and technology
education for all students in the Capital Region. In the Fall
of 1995, the Math/Science Alliance convened the Capital Region
Congress on Mathematics and Science Education. Participants
in the Congress included students, parents, math teachers,
science teachers, administrators, school board members, representatives
from business and industry, legislators, non-profit organizations,
professional associations, and higher education. The Congress
focused on four issues:
- Potential Actions
- Incentives
- Representation
- Assessment
