    Summary

    The Mathematics and Science Partnerships (MSP) program supports partnerships between the mathematics, science, and/or engineering faculty of higher education institutions and high-need school districts.

    The goal of the program is to increase student achievement through high quality professional learning for teachers. 

    This program is designed to improve the content knowledge of teachers and the performance of students in the areas of mathematics and science by encouraging states, institutions of higher education (IHEs), local education agencies (LEAs), and elementary and secondary schools to participate in programs that:
    • Improve and upgrade the status and stature of mathematics and science teaching by encouraging IHEs to improve mathematics and science teacher education;
    • Focus on the education of mathematics and science teachers as a career-long process;
    • Bring mathematics and science teachers together with scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to improve their teaching skills; and
    • Provide summer institutes and ongoing professional development for teachers to improve their knowledge and teaching skills.

  • Eligibility Details

    To be eligible, a partnership must include, at a minimum:
    • A high-need local educational agency (LEA); and
    • An engineering, technology, mathematics, or science department of a postsecondary education institution, which may be a department in a 4-year university, 2-year technical college, tribal college, or community college.

    A partnership may include:
    • A teacher education department of a postsecondary institution
    • Another science, technology, engineering or mathematics or teacher education department of a postsecondary institution;
    • Additional LEAs, public or private elementary schools or secondary schools, or a consortium of such schools (see note about distribution of high-need and other LEAs);
    • A business; and/or
    • A nonprofit or for-profit organization of demonstrated effectiveness in improving the quality of mathematics and science teachers.

    In addition to this, all programs must have at a minimum 50% of the teachers, schools, and districts benefiting from their program from a high need entity. Specifically, projects need to ensure that when they identify a partner as a high-need LEA, the individual participants from that LEA come from a high-needs school within the LEA and that 50% or more of the individual teachers who participate in program events and element are from high-need LEAs and schools.
