TEAMS (Telecommunications Education for Advances in Mathematics and Science Education) is the project operated by the Los Angeles County Office of Education. This was the first Star Schools Project to specifically address the needs of large urban districts. The partners in the project include the Los Angeles County Educational Telecommunications Network, the Los Angeles Unified School District, District of Columbia Public Schools, Boston Public Schools, Atlanta Public Schools and Salt Lake City public schools. Science and technology experiences have been developed for grades four and five, multicultural mathematics and problem solving were the focus for grades seven through ten, and student-to-student teleconferences and career exploration were emphasized for grades seven through twelve. Special programs were also developed for students with limited English proficiency. A parent education component and staff development teleconference are key to enriching the educational opportunities of students in these major cities. Since its first award in 1990, TEAMS has added Charlotte-Mecklenburg, and the States of Arizona, Missouri, Georgia, Detroit Public Schools, Eastern New Mexico University, Georgia Public Broadcasting, Louisiana Public Broadcasting, Mississippi Educational Television, Missouri Success Link, KOCE TV and New Mexico to its partnership.
