Diversity in Mathematics Education (DiME) is one of a network of Centers for Learning and Teaching (CLT) funded by the National Science Foundation. DiME/CLT is building an integrated program to develop and enhance the instructional workforce from kindergarten through graduate school. The program consists of three interrelated components: a doctoral/postdoctoral component; a teacher education component for teachers and instructional leaders; and a comprehensive research agenda. These components are integrated by a strong focus on the ideas of algebra and issues related to learners with diverse cultural, language, and cognitive backgrounds.

        The Center is a consortium led by education and mathematics faculty of three research universities, two school-system partners, and a group of teacher professional-development providers for inservice teachers. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the lead grantee institution. The other two universities are the University of California, Berkeley and University of California, Los Angeles. The school systems are the Madison (WI) Metropolitan School District, the Berkeley (CA) Unified School District. The professional development provider is California Subject Matter Project at UCLA's Center X.
