What is an NSF Math and Science Partnership?
Because improved student achievement in mathematics and science is so important to us as individuals and as a nation, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded a dozen comprehensive Mathematics and Science Partnerships (MSPs) and 23 targeted MSPs around the country. Visit www.MSPnet.org for more information.
These multi-year projects are meant to answer some of the most difficult questions facing education in America:
- How do we draw upon mathematicians and scientists to improve the quality of the mathematics and science taught in our schools?
- How do we improve teaching and learning for all students?
- How do we improve cooperation between higher education and the K-12 community?
- How do we successfully create and sustain change on a large scale?
You and PROM/SE are part of a national effort to answer these questions.
