A new vision for STEM teaching and learning

At MƒA, we believe that making it possible for expert teachers to collaborate, learn, and lead strengthens our education system and is the best way to ensure all students get the education they deserve. MƒA is a model for the profession that shows how it might evolve.

Three things to know about Math for America:

  1. We recognize and treat teachers as STEM professionals.  
  2. Our fellowships create a community that advances the profession through teacher collaboration, learning, and leadership. 
  3. We support more than 1,000 STEM teachers working in hundreds of K-12 public schools in New York City.
