CHAMP (Climbing Higher with the Academy for Mathematics Performance)

CHAMP is a weeklong lab school sponsored by MATE (Mathematics Academy of Teaching Excellence). Students from grades 4th-11th are identified by local school campuses and invited to participate in the program. CHAMP’s content rich program is designed and taught by MATE teacher/leaders, 4th-11th grade teachers from participating school sites, university California Mathematics and Science Teacher Initiative (CMST) students, and UCR staff. The goal of this collaborative project is to raise mathematical and college awareness in students and teachers at these grade levels that are often considered gatekeepers to future success in mathematics, science and technology.
