Mathematics and Science Partnerships

 

To improve the academic achievement of students in mathematics and science by encouraging States, institutions of higher education (IHEs), local educational 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 those teachers' teaching skills; develop more rigorous mathematics and science curricula that are aligned with challenging state and local academic achievement standards and with the standards expected for postsecondary study in engineering, mathematics, and science; and improve and expand training of mathematics and science teachers, including by training such teachers in the effective integration of technology into curricula and instruction.

Not Applicable. States receive grants noncompetitively by formula. States establish guidelines for selecting partnerships for subgrants. Funds may be used for authorized teacher education and professional development activities, including summer workshops or institutes that train teachers to use curricula based on scientific research and aligned with challenging State academic content standards; innovative distance-learning programs; and programs that bring teachers together with working scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to expand teachers’ subject-matter knowledge and research. Grantees may also use program funds to develop more rigorous mathematics and science curricula that are aligned with challenging State and local academic content standards and recruit individuals with mathematics, science, and engineering majors into the teaching profession through the use of signing and performance incentives, stipends, and scholarships. Funds received under this program must be used to supplement, and not supplant, funds that would otherwise be used for authorized activities. State grantees must submit annual performance and financial reports as required by the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) at 34 CFR Part 76.
