Programs that Work

The Virginia Mathematics & Science Coalition recognizes effective student and teacher educational programs through its "Programs that Work" Awards. The Coalition reviews exemplary programs for which there is evidence of a positive impact on student or teacher learning.

Proposals are evaluated on the extent to which they:

■ Represent innovative, exemplary programs that have proven effective with all students or teachers;

■ Demonstrate the important science concepts, skills or processes students and teachers learned as a result of the programs;

■ Document impact on teaching and learning.

For more information regarding this program, please contact
Fred Hoffman, VMSC President.
