Our Goals:

The TAM_SET Partnership Group is dedicated to the creation of exemplary and visionary programs for teachers, students, administrators and parents.Seminars and programs offer examples of exemplary pedagogy and model best practices in classroom mathematics and science teaching for Texas schools.

Online pro\fessional development is a priority for TAM_SET.

We are committed to a campus-facilitator-mentor model (TOT) wherein the facilitators are trained with the professional development materials and are then supported to train teachers on their campuses.
