How does the Illinois Building a Presence for Science and Mathematics work?
The Illinois Building a Presence Executive Committee and others nominates a cadre of educators to serve as Key Leaders for each state. Letters of application are submitted and a final selection is made. Each Key Leader selected is assigned one person from each of the 2530 schools assigned to him/her to serve as a Point of Contact. Points of Contact and Key Leaders receive individual and electronic communications and professional support, including the National Science and Mathematics Education Standards, priority notification for professional development opportunities, and other resource materials to take back to their schools and share with their colleagues.
