CMSCE Initiatives

In-District Sustained Partnership

CMSCE offers in-district professional development to increase teacher content knowledge in literacy, mathematics, or science. Year-long partnership include standards-based, hands-on workshops and coaching/mentoring sessions designed specifically for your district based upon district textbooks and curriculum. Our specially designed professional development will help teachers in your district better prepare ALL their students to attain high achievement in the classroom and on New Jersey assessment tests.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Professional Development

We offer sustained professional development in UDL in the areas of mathematics and literacy. Collaborate with other districts that are part of the CMSCE-UDL network and help your teachers enrich learning and reduce barriers to the curriculum while maintaining high achievement standards for all.
