North Carolina Integrated Mathematics Project
Description: As part of numerous innovative projects aimed at re-conceptualizing North Carolina high schools for the 21st century and serving students and communities that have been disadvantaged by changing tides of economic and industry, the NC Integrated Mathematics Project (NCIM) was implemented with the intention of supporting the implementation of integrated mathematics curriculum in a number of designated STEM -themed schools around the state.
The project was a partnership among North Carolina State University researchers, expert instructors and professional development providers, and teachers in the STEM schools. Using the CORE-Plus curriculum, we sought ways to effectively implement new content combinations and pedagogical approaches. The Friday Institute-based group built and supported the learning community portal, conducted the research on the project, documented and studied the implementation of the project, and evaluated the outcomes.
