NSF (National Science Foundation) Reports Success in Improving Math ProficiencyFebruary 22, 2007—In late January the NSF released an analysis of 123 schools that participated in the Math and Science Partnership programs. The results show increases in student proficiency every year since they started in 2002. Some of the most impressive increases were in elementary math where 7.2 percnet more students achieved or exceeded proficiency from 2002-2003 and 2003-2004, followed by another 6.5 percent of students in 2003-2004 to 2004-2005. Partnerships include local higher education institutions, the local school districts, and other community stakeholders such as business or science education organizations. There are 52 formal partnerships and 30 other focusing on research and development of curriculums. They are also involved in projects that recruit individuals with a background in science, technology, math and engineering into teaching. They have supported 28 BA s to obtain MATs (Masters of Arts Teaching) in the Balitmore County School system and have another 89 working toward teaching certificates and MATs. | ||||
