In 2007, leaders in American business, education, and science joined forces to create the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI), a nonprofit organization designed to transform education in the United States. Our mission and focus is to increase student success in the critical subjects of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and we do so through NMSI`s Laying the Foundation Program, NMSI`s College Readiness Program, and NMSI`s UTeach Expansion Program. These classroom tested programs have a proven track record of producing immediate and sustainable results, and NMSI continues to scale them up on a national level. To date, our teacher training program has reached 33 states, our AP program is in 18 states, and the UTeach program has been implemented in 35 universities. NMSI is fiercely dedicated to helping America`s teachers and students rise to the challenges of an increasingly global economy. Student by student, teacher by teacher, we are transforming schools in America.
Established in 2006, Beyond BookSmart, formerly Thinking Outside the Classroom, provides Executive Function coaching to students in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. Executive Functions are self-management skills that help people achieve goals. In order to be effective, students must be able to manage their emotions and attention, organize and plan their work and time, and reflect upon and revise their tactics as circumstances change. Our mission is to empower students to manage themselves effectively by providing tools, strategies and mentoring that lead to a lifetime of success, allowing them to clarify and achieve what is important to them, be more fulfilled, and contribute to a better world. Working 1:1 with students in their homes and online via Skype, our academic coaches use a deep understanding of the stages of behavior change (the Transtheoretical Model, by Dr. James Prochaska, verified by over 35 years of research) as we help them to achieve lasting results that facilitate productivity and confidence. Our headquarters is in Needham, MA and we have over 100 highly qualified and well trained Executive Function coaches located throughout Massachusetts, the New York Metro Region, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and the greater Chicagoland area.
