description

The Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative is the Alabama Department of Education's initiative to improve math and science statewide. Its mission is to provide all students in Grades K-12 with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the workforce and/or postsecondary studies. The program was designed by a Blue Ribbon Committee comprised of lead K-12 teachers and administrators, higher education representatives, and business leaders. AMSTI provides three basic services to schools: professional development, equipment and materials, and on-site support. Each AMSTI teacher receives 120 contact hours of subject and grade specific professional development during the Summer Institutes. Teachers conduct all of the hands-on activities they will eventually perform with their students at the institutes. Then, upon returning to their school, they receive all of the equipment and materials needed to engage their students in hands-on, activity-based instruction. As AMSTI is funded from a state line item in the education budget, there is no direct cost to the teacher, school, or school district for participation in AMSTI.
