IMproving Partnerships and Active Collaboration for Teaching (IMPACT)

The Center for Mathematics, Science and Computer Education is currently working with four New Jersey districts (Bergenfield, Bogota, Cliffside Park and Palisades Park) to expand the number of teachers who are highly qualified in mathematics and reading literacy. Through IMPACT, districts will also align their curriculum to the Core Content Standards. Working with the Center in its Universal Design for Learning (UDL) initiative and 21st Century technology Initiative, districts will increase the integration of 21st century skills, technology and global perspectives into instruction.
