Math & Science Partnership - Southwest Pennsylvania (NSF)

Math and Science Collaborative, headquartered at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit is a collaboration linking more than 50 school districts in the region with a partnership of local colleges and universities. The MSP program is a major research and development effort that supports innovative partnerships to improve K-12 student achievement in mathematics and science. MSP projects are expected to raise the achievement levels of all students and significantly reduce achievement gaps in the mathematics and science performance of diverse student populations. In order to improve the mathematics and science achievement of the students, MSP projects contribute to what is known in mathematics and science education, and serve as models that have a sufficiently strong evidence/research base to improve the mathematics and science education outcomes for all students. The National Science Foundation's MSP program coordinates its effort with programs of the U.S. Department of Education in the expectation that effective innovations in mathematics and science education will be disseminated into wider practice.  

Beginning in 2003 and continuing through 2010, CEAC served as the evaluator for this ambitious and complex initiative.
