National Center for Improving Student Learning and Achievement in Mathematics and Science (NCISLA)

Our Center is conducting an intensive, nationally coordinated research program — in collaboration with teachers — to advance effective reform of K-12 mathematics and science instruction. Charged by the U.S. Department of Education in 1996 to build a solid research base about ways instruction can be improved, Center researchers have been working with teachers and diverse student populations to develop new mathematics & science learning environments and professional development models. They have been investigating:


  • student reasoning

  • mathematics & science instruction

  • student assessment

  • teacher professional development

  • school features that support learning and achievement


The Center’s work is yielding classroom-based findings and recommendations about effective instruction and new professional development models for sustained student learning and achievement in mathematics & science.
