Outreach

In addition to our projects, the Concord Consortium also maintains several sites used for furthering knowledge of technology and education. They are listed below:



Object ImageBalanced Assessment

From 1993 to 2003, the Balanced Assessment in Mathematics Program existed at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The project group developed a large collection of innovative mathematics assessment tasks for grades K to 12, and trained teachers to use these assessments in their classrooms.

The library of over 300 mathematics assessment tasks developed during the project remains freely available through this web site. Teachers may use these materials in their own classrooms at no cost.


Object ImageProbesight

Probesight advocates the use of probeware and sensors to enhance science and math education by presenting curriculum ideas, current research, and vendor resources.


Object ImageUSight

Usight advocates the use of ubiquitous handheld devices to enhance science and math education by presenting curriculum ideas, current research, and vendor resources.
