The NUA's mission is to substantiate an irrefutable belief in the capacity of all public school children to achieve the high intellectual performances demanded by our ever changing global community. Our focus is teacher and administrator quality through professional development which incorporates current research from cognitive neuroscience on learning, teaching, and leading. We partner with school districts to support the building of their capacity to advocate community-wide responsibility for realizing the learning potential of its children.
OUR ACTION
NUA mentors go into schools to assess how each one is organized for instruction, examining its school climate and how data are used to "tune" instruction to each student. By demonstrating lessons in math, science, reading, and writing with groups of students, mentors coach instructional staff to accelerate student learning. Mentors deliver state-of-the-art theory & practice to school communities and classrooms.
