Einstein Fellows visited the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC)
in Columbus, Ohio. ENC's mission is to identify effective curriculum
resources, create high-quality professional development materials,
and disseminate useful information and products to improve K-12
mathematics and science teaching and learning. The Fellows toured
the facility, met with staff, and learned the ins and outs of the
valuable online education resources provided by ENC online.
