As the need for widespread reform in science and mathematics education has swept the country's education community, science and mathematics educators are increasingly called upon to take new leadership roles including planning and carrying out wide scale changes at all levels of the education system. WestEd's National Academy for Science and Mathematics Education Leadership, funded by the National Science Foundation, is an in-depth professional development program to help leaders of science and mathematics education reform to succeed in their roles. Applications for the next cohort will be available soon. Leaders of all levels are encouraged to apply if they are relatively new to their leadership roles, or to encourage other new leaders to apply.
Fellows can apply independently, or as mathematics-science partners.
