Helpful Hints for Navigation

Information from the TE-MAT site is easily accessed through one of the following links that appear at the bottom of each page: TE-MAT Home, About TE-MAT, Database Overview, TE-MAT Descriptors, FAQs, and Contact TE-MAT. Before conducting any search, a consultation of the database overview is highly recommended. The FAQs that provide answers to the most commonly asked questions can be especially helpful in is designing a search inquiry. Visit "What is the difference between the descriptor and keyword searches?" for detailed information on the TE-MAT's two search options.
In addition to the searchable collection of reviews of professional development materials, the database includes: 1) a conceptual framework that highlights critical elements to consider in designing and implementing an effective PD program and links to relevant resources for each area, and 2) TE-MAT essays, which offer reflections of experienced PD providers on aspects of the design, implementation, and evaluation of professional development for mathematics and science teachers. While there are certainly materials of interest to teachers included in the database, teachers may find it more useful to visit the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse for Mathematics and Science Education (www.enc.org).
