National Center for Improving Student Learning and Achievement in Mathematics and Science--Communication Program

The NCISLA is conducting a strategic communication program to provide audience members (policymakers, teachers, and education leaders) information about research findings and implications for K-12 policy and practice. The program is based on communication theory and initial audience research. Through print and multimedia products - and researchers' networking, publications, and professional development activities - the Center aims to provide relevant information, examples, and insights to inform mathematics and science reform. Audience-targeted products illustrate (a) ways that student achievement can be influenced through innovative instruction, (b) mathematics and science content worth studying, (c) the utility of incorporating mathematical and scientific modeling in instruction, (d) useful assessment strategies, and (e) approaches to sustained teacher professional development.
