In January of 2002, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) became law. Title II, Part B of this legislation authorizes a Mathematics and Science Partnerships (MSP) competitive grant program. The intent of this program is to encourage institutions of higher education, local school districts, elementary schools, and secondary schools to participate in professional development activities that increase the subject matter knowledge and teaching skills of mathematics and science teachers. Professional development activities must be sustained, intensive, classroom focused, and aligned with the state standards (Priority Academic Student Skills [PASS]) , local standards and mathematics and science curricula. These activities must result in a demonstrable and measurable improvement in K-12 student academic achievement in mathematics and science.
