eMINTS teachers

The goal of eMINTS is to support Missouri educators as they integrate multimedia technology into inquiry-based, student-centered, interdisciplinary, collaborative teaching practices that result in improved student performance, increased parent involvement and enriched instructional effectiveness.

eMINTS/METS classroom grant teams (Missouri)

The FY08 eMINTS/METS Classroom Grants Program for educators in Missouri public school districts and charter schools, grades 4-12 is intended to

• implement 100 model classrooms across Missouri where eMINTS AND research-based mathematics and/or science curriculum have been implemented together to demonstrate “best practice” in METS education, and
• collect student and teacher data for proof-of-concept evaluation to establish the basis for a major state-wide implementation to create new eMINTS/METS classrooms in the future.
