The Connections Across Cultures Project (CaC) is built upon the voices of people who are female, American Indian, African American, and Latina/o. These voices have come from more than 200 interviews, 750 articles and books, classroom research, textbook analyses, and other research activities. The project has developed a set of 20 research-based strategies to facilitate the interest, motivation, and achievement of students of various cultures and both genders. The strategies reach not only the small percentage who have "made it" in our technical system, but also the ones whom we are trying to reach, but leave behind. The project offers workshops nationally as well as an on-line course for teachers, educators, and community leaders.

Connections for Learning provides educators with a range of professional development opportunities related to inquiry-based math and science learning, problem solving, team building, and equity. Links are made between equity and reform math teaching methods. For example, when discussing the value of manipulatives a connection is made to thinking about how such tools can especially help girls who may not have had as much experience with spatial problems. Schools or districts can contact the organization with their specific interests and needs.

EMI is non-profit training organization that originated as a collaborative of nine suburban school districts in the Metro West region of Boston, MA. They offer courses to educators on developing and implementing effective anti-racist practices and programs in classrooms and schools. Workshops range from one-hour presentations on diversity to a thirty-seven hour graduate-level seminar on anti-racist teaching, with the option of individual school consultations as well. EMI also works with pre-service teachers and students. A few events they have organized in the past are a conference on affirmative action and an EMI Summer Institute.

This eight-week online course focuses on building classroom environments that support girls' achievement in math and science. The course will look at the social and academic needs of girls at this stage of their development. It also will look at ways to increase girls' interest in math and science and to examine factors that affect their achievement levels. Some of the topics that are covered include: gender in math and science classrooms; equitable expectations and interactions; equitable teaching strategies; and equity in assessment.

EQUALS programs work to increase access and equity in mathematics for all students and particularly under-represented groups. With an attention to gender and race, class and culture EQUALS presents ways of learning and thinking about mathematics that help build access and success for all students. The workshops combine information on inquiry-based mathematics with a perspective on equity. EQUALS programs can be found throughout the United States through a network of sites offering workshops and materials.

EQUITY 2000 is The College Board's district-wide (K-16) education reform model that promotes educational excellence for all students. The goal is to close the gap in college-going and success rates between minority and non-minority, advantaged and disadvantaged students. EQUITY 2000 offers an Adoption Institute for districts interested in implementing its principles and components. There are also numerous two-day workshops throughout the year designed to deal more students into the educational system by supporting pre-K through 16 reform policies and practices. With offerings in several areas - counseling, mathematics teaching, data management, leadership and "safety nets" - each of the workshops targets a specific area of reform.
