MC2-LIFT Home

The Mathematically-Connected Communities (MC2)-Leadership Institute For Teachers (LIFT) project - responds to the needs of partner districts that have embarked on full scale implementation of new mathematics curriculum in recent years, yet lack the leadership on school campuses or in their districts to support full enactment of a quality curriculum. MC2-LIFT was designed by mathematicians, education faculty and school district leaders in order to develop a cadre of 60 teacher leaders who will have a deep conceptual knowledge of K-12 mathematics, as well as the knowledge, skills and dispositions to facilitate growth in mathematics teaching and learning environments in schools or districts.

The goals of the project are to: 1) Increase Teacher Leaders' Knowledge of K-12 Mathematics; 2) Expand and Enrich Pedagogical Practices; 3) Develop Intellectual Leaders; 4) Implement Institute Learning in School Environments; and 5) Sustain Partnerships between Mathematicians, Education Faculty and Districts.
