Project Kaleidoscope

"An informal national alliance dedicated to strengthening undergraduate
science and mathematics education."

S.M.A.R.T.S.
The SMARTS (Science and Mathematics Avenues to Renewed Teachers and Students) project is a three-year 2005-2008 Mathematics-Science Partnership Grant from the Iowa Department of Education.
The University of Iowa Science Education Center and the University of Iowa Department of Mathematics , Grant Wood Area Education Agency science and mathematics consultants and representatives from local school districts have been awarded a 3 - year professional development grant called the SMARTS Project. This project targets teams (4-6) of elementary teachers of mathematics and/or science. The purposes of the project are to: 1) enhance science and mathematics instruction through an inquiry approach, 2) improve student achievement, and 3) nurture collaboration among participating teacher teams.
