The purpose of the Title IIB Mathematics and Science Partnerships (MSP) program is to encourage scientifically-based professional development, which enhances the content knowledge and teaching skills of classroom teachers, as a means for improving student academic performance. Partnerships between high-need school districts and the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty in institutions of higher education are at the core of these improvement efforts. The overall goal is to give districts and mathematics and science higher education faculty joint responsibility for improving mathematics and science instruction through the process of implementing high-quality professional development.
