	Reading Coherence Initiative - This project was a K-2 reading initiative that created research-based resources designed to help teachers develop a more student-centered approach to reading instruction.
	Eisenhower Southwest Consortium for the Improvement of Mathematics and Science Teaching - This project provided resources, training and other assistance to educational systems and teachers to improve mathematics and science instruction.
