The EBEC is an educational learning community of eight school districts located on the east side of Narragansett Bay. EBEC’s mission is to share, coordinate, and combine resources of the member districts to help develop world-class educators and schools. This includes providing high quality science and math instructional materials and teacher professional development for grades PK-8, and federally-funded curricula for physics, chemistry, and environmental studies for high schools. Their programs emphasize hands-on learning, active investigation, and teacher-vetted lessons which increase student engagement, achievement, and interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
