Building Capacity Model

Much of what is being done in SUMA is based on a Building Capacity Model (BCM). The model is the framework being used to guide decision-making based on data, and to inform the district about the status of mathematics teaching and learning in its schools. The specifics of this model and the description of the tools and methodologies are displayed below.


The goal of SUMA is to study mathematics teaching and learning in order to improve mathematics learning for all students.
