The Center for Education (National Academies) and the National Science Resources Center (National Academies and Smithsonian Institution) have developed a series of workshops to help MSP grantees and future applicants improve K-16 STEM programs. The content of the workshops builds on recent NRC reports on K-12 and higher education in a variety of topics (improving learning, assessing learning, teacher education, challenging courses and curricula, and the role of IHEs in partnerships with K-12 schools and districts). Participants examine the research and the implications, applications, and implementation issues identified in these reports. They then apply them to their project designs.
A total of twelve workshops are being offered. All participants receive CD-ROMS containing a compendium of NRC reports that are related to the topic(s) being considered at a particular workshop.
The Principal Investigator of Facilitating Mathematics/Science Partnerships is Jay Labov.

This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Facilitating MSPs
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections as
well as the interactive calendar have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Facilitating Mathematics/Science Partnerships project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups.
