In turn, these teacher leaders serve as mathematics resources to other teachers in their school and/or district in the teaching and learning of mathematics.
A partnership of mathematics educators and mathematicians supporting Vermont and New Hampshire schools and districts, math teacher leaders, and math teachers since 1999. At the heart of the VMI is the concept of building a cadre of mathematics teacher leaders across the state who are deeply knowledgeable in mathematics content and can apply their knowledge to improve mathematics instruction.
