AMSTI

AMSTI (Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative) is the Alabama Department of Education’s initiative to improve math and science teaching statewide.  Its mission is to provide all students in Grades K-12 with the knowledge and skills needed for success in the workforce and/or postsecondary studies. The premise behind AMSTI is that students learn math and science best by doing math and science, especially when they are able to relate it to their daily lives.  Schools apply to become official AMSTI Schools and, when accepted, agree to send all of their math and science teachers and administrators to two-week long Summer Institutes for two consecutive years.  OMS is proud to be an AMSTI school.
