Houston Consortium for the Advancement of Science
and Engineering middle school Master Math
Teachers program (HCASE MMT)

• Mission
• Address the growing shortage of engineers in
  Houston, by enhancing the technical and
  leadership skills of middle school Science,
  Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
  teachers 8th grade algebra
• Influence the teachers whom influence the
  students
• Vision
• We see passionate, energetic students who hunger
  for more science and math education, falling in
  love with STEM subjects early enough in their
  academic careers to opt for a science or
  engineering future
• We see a healthy and sustainable collaborative
  that equips and encourages middle school teachers
  in the Greater Houston area to enhance their
  impact on students.
• We see a future of abundant engineering talent
  produced locally as a result of equipping middle
  school math students with dedicated and qualified
  instructors
