Project
MIND offers the following opportunities for partnerships:
- Across the country,
there are low-performing schools that need help with improving
student's math abilities and performance on standardized tests.
Project MIND seeks partners to support Phase I and Phase II training
and program implementation at these low-performing schools.
- Project MIND is most
successful when the entire school becomes math-sensitive and math-friendly.
The school incorporates math into all aspects of school life and
all subject areas, while using Project MIND strategies on a daily
basis. These schools are called Project MIND Full-School Implementation
Sites. At these sites, Project MIND staff provides on-going technical
assistance, a series of classroom demonstration workshops, parent
workshops, and refresher workshops for teachers throughout the
year. Support is needed to develop Project MIND Full-School Implementation
Sites in your community.
- Each year, Project
MIND hosts a conference that features students who participate
in mental math competitions and in designing math games, puzzles,
and brain teasers. Support is needed to underwrite the cost to
host this annual event, which has been highly successful over
the past seventeen years.

Project
MIND offers the following opportunities for partnerships:
- In Broward County,
there are 12 elementary schools that scored Level 1 on Florida's
2001 FCAT standardized test. Support is needed to provide Project
MIND training at these and other low-performing schools.
- In Miami-Dade County,
there are 13 charter schools managed by the Academica Corporation
that have implemented Project MIND at their school sites.
- Another Academica
charter school, Somerset Academy, has been using the Project MIND
curriculum for the past 5 years. This school ranked #1 out of
1,666 elementary and charter schools on the 2000 FCAT math standardized
test.
- In Palm Beach County,
there are two schools that would like to immediately implement
Project MIND: the JFK Charter School and The Village Academy.
The Village Academy scored in the lowest 5% statewide on their
2002 FCAT math scores and is eager to receive training in Project
MIND strategies.
The Palm Beach County
School Board has voted to implement Project MIND in all public elementary
schools over the next 3 years; however, there is an immediate need
to provide training for staff at the lowest performing schools,
including three "F" rated and eleven "D" rated
elementary schools.
