EcoExpress.org & the Philadelphia Math + Science Coalition
EcoExpress.org is a free online educational resource that is entirely dedicated to helping teachers in Pennsylvania make environmental topics come alive in the classroom.
Our engaging documentaries present the stories of local people who are creating environmental solutions. Each of these short documentaries features related teacher materials. Our Teacher Materials are aligned to Pennsylvania State Standards and Philadelphia School District Core Curriculum. This supplemental curriculum features discussion questions, homework suggestions, classroom activities and experiments, the science behind the video, and other resources.
The mission of the Philadelphia Math + Science Coalition is to address the urgent challenge of preparing our youth to excel in mathematics and science by enhancing the quality of math and science teaching and learning in the Philadelphia public schools.
The Coalition has six overarching goals:
- Increase the number of highly qualified math and science teachers in School District of Philadelphia schools, grades 6 – 12.
- Enhance the quality of pre-service math and science teacher preparation at partner universities and engage the universities and the School District in developing a well-articulated transition process between teacher preparation, hiring, induction and professional development.
- Enhance the quality of continuing professional development for current math and science teachers in grades 6 – 12.
- Develop and implement a program for industry professionals to enhance math and science instruction in grades 6 – 12 as volunteers.
- Identify instructional resources necessary for effective math and science teaching and learning.
- Communicate with the public in a multi-faceted way the need for all children to excel in math and science.
