CMASTE is an education research and development centre serving K-12 students and teachers. Education research is employed to create and test curriculum, instruction and assessment concepts. CMASTE strives to be a unique R&D partner in mathematics, science and technology education.
A current example of a partnership is with the research centres funded by Alberta Ingenuity. See Outreach and then Alberta Ingenuity in the links in the left frame for lessons that reflect current scientific research.
An updated addition to our website is an on-line searchable database for classroom resources and services from the many partners in science and mathematics education in the Province of Alberta; e.g., search by grade and curriculum topic. There are about 80 partners in science and mathematics education in Alberta alone. Currently CMASTE has contacts for about 50 of these partners. We are gradually adding more partners and more of their resources and services. See Curriculum Resources and then Search Partner Resources.
Science and mathematics teachers are invited to apply for positions as writers of student lessons for the Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Carbohydrate Science (AICCS), the Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Machine Learning (AICML) and the Alberta Ingenuity Centre for In Situ Energy (AICISE) for use in Alberta Science Classrooms. There are currently 5 new positions for application. See "More of What's On" for the application form.
