Project SMART
Project SMART (Student-Centered, Multicultural, Active, Real-World Teaching) is a school/business/university partnership among the Oswego County Schools and Teacher Center, the Syracuse City School District, several New York City school districts, several regional business and community organizations, and SUNY Oswego. For twenty years it has provided high-quality and sustained professional development for inservice and preservice teachers during an annual summer institute, followed by implementation and assessment activities with participants during the academic year.
Project SMART’s purpose is the improvement of P-12 teaching through an inquiry-based approach that emphasizes how schoolwork is connected to learning in the real world of work. In addition, Project SMART has increasingly focused on promoting professional development school and other partnership activities in diverse urban school environments, receiving significant new funding for this enhanced programmatic emphasis in recent years. Project SMART has also begun to support the work of the Project CLIMB initiative by hosting a team from Benin in the 2007 summer professional development institute.
