TERC is partnering with the Toxics Action Center to enhance the capacity of environmental organizations to teach mathematical literacy skills to low-income citizens, mostly women of color. Secondary collaborators include four environmental organizations around the country. The project is (1) developing math- and statistics-rich educational materials that help non-scientists interpret environmental test results, (2) developing training materials that help environmental organization personnel provide quantitative literacy training to citizens, (3) helping environmental organizations institutionalize project resources, and (4) evaluating the impact of project activities on environmental organizers, community members, and the general public. Project deliverables include bilingual, print- and web-based instructional materials (including videos) for environmental organizations to use with staff and community members; training sessions to create a cadre of environmental organization leaders who can conduct environment-focused, math training workshops; a communications toolkit for dissemination to journalists who cover environmental issues; and a resource-rich project web site.

TERC正在与有毒物质行动中心合作，以提高环境组织向低收入公民（主要是有色人种妇女）教授数学识字技能的能力。次级合作者包括全国各地的四个环境组织。该项目是（1）开发数学和数学丰富的教育材料，帮助非科学家解释环境测试结果，（2）开发培训材料，帮助环境组织人员向公民提供定量识字培训，（3）帮助环境组织将项目资源制度化，以及（4）评估项目活动对环境组织者，社区成员，和一般公众。项目交付成果包括双语、印刷和网络教学材料（包括录像），供环境组织工作人员和社区成员使用;举办培训班，以培养一批环境组织领导人，他们能够举办以环境为重点的数学培训讲习班;制作一个传播工具包，分发给报道环境问题的记者;以及制作一个资源丰富的项目网站。
