The afterschool program is designed to:

• Increase student achievement in science and math
• Improve teachers' STEM content

• Enhance the use of best practices in elementary science and math instruction, including classroom management, quality questioning strategies, and analyzing student work;
• Create STEM leaders that can act as catalysts or agents of change at their campuses; and
• Provide teachers with TEKS-aligned STEM materials.
   

The REMSL PM program is designed to provide teachers with intensive training and coaching and meets in the evening.
