New York State Mathematics Resource Center (NYS-MRC) 

In partnership with the New York State Education Department, RMC has established a Mathematics Resource Center (NYS-MRC) to strengthen mathematics education by developing and connecting mathematics leaders throughout the state.  These leaders include representatives of higher education, Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), regional mathematics coaches, state-funded networks, and school districts. The center disseminates research and provides tools and effective practices for teachers and administrators through the New York State Virtual Learning System.

In the summer of 2007, through the BOCES Staff and Curriculum Development Network (SCDN), seven regional coordinating councils were formed to assist the NYS-MRC in the roll-out of the first level of professional development. Mathematics leadership teams representing over 700 teachers and administrators from high-need school districts participated in an initial two-day program. Each team developed district level action plans on how to support improved mathematics education. A comprehensive needs assessment determined areas for professional development across the state. A professional learning community has been established and will be nurtured though webinars and regional meetings.
