Connecticut Academy for Education in Math
and Technology

The Connecticut Academy for Education (CT Academy) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation that was incorporated in 1991 through a partnership of the Connecticut State Departments of Education, Higher Education, and Economic Development, the Legislature and Governor's office. Connecticut's General Assembly has recognized the CT Academy as an organization that provides leadership and technical support for the improvement of mathematics, science, and technology education for all citizens.

Our Mission is to join with educators and others to attain continuous improvement in mathematics and science achievement for ALL students - with specific emphasis on eliminating achievement gaps. To accomplish our mission we deliver data-driven professional development services and measurement tools to educators and we serve as a statewide advocate, broker, and catalyst for academic excellence for all students.

During the 2004-2005 school year, 38 school districts contracted with the CT Academy to use our teacher-developed, field-proven products and services. Our 33 mathematics and science consultants provided services that reached 196 schools, more than 1,200 teachers and administrators and helped improve mathematics and science achievement for more than 29,100 students. In 2006, the CT Academy is leading Governor Rell's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics STEM initiative to create a statewide, comprehensive improvement plan that will increase all students' interest and achievement in STEM subjects.
