Whatcom County Project (WCP)

The Whatcom County Project (WCP) is a county-wide partnership that includes all of its school districts, the Whatcom Tech Prep Consortium, Western Washington University, Whatcom Community College and Bellingham Technical College. Over the next two years, WCP will assess the current status of math instruction and professional development needs across the partnership both at the high school and college level.
This team will then develop a guide to describe the models of instructional practices found in successful mathematics classrooms and the professional development strategies that best support implementation of these practices. Based on the actions and results of year one, the Leadership Team will have a commitment from district and cross district teams to implement a model of job embedded, professional development. The project’s overall focus rests on fostering powerful teaching and learning to promote change in classroom practice. The work of these communities will be shared and made public to other members of the consortium in order to provide opportunities for replication.
