Mission & Background

The mission of the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse for Mathematics and Science Education (ENC) 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.

• Acquires and catalogs mathematics and science curriculum resources, creating the most comprehensive collection in the nation.
• Provides the best selection of math and science education resources on the Internet.
• Supports teachers' professional development in math, science, and the effective use of technology.
• Serves all K-12 educators, parents, and students with free products and services.
• Collaborates with organizations across the nation including the Eisenhower Regional Consortia, Demonstration Sites, and the Access Centers.

Located at The Ohio State University, ENC is funded through a contract with the U.S. Department of Education. ENC was established in 1992.

ENC was originally created to collect all types of teaching materials for K-12 math and science educators and to identify and disseminate information about federally funded programs. Our Products and Services have evolved to include this web site, ENC Focus, which is a free weekly web feature and periodic print publication, and several other publications and services.
