The Alabama Math Science and Technology Initiative (AMSTI) aims to enhance math and science education across Alabama. Since 2000, it has trained thousands of teachers and impacted hundreds of thousands of students. AMSTI provides professional development, materials, and on-site support to schools. The initiative has significantly improved student performance in math and science, with AMSTI schools outperforming non-AMSTI schools. The program also partners with universities to prepare future teachers. Despite its success, AMSTI's expansion is limited by funding constraints.
