The MSTP Project: Mathematics Across the MST Curriculum is improving teaching and learning in middle-level mathematics in 10 school districts in New York.
Core and supporting partners will develop and implement a model for increasing the diversity of the teaching workforce; enhancing university faculty's understanding of middle school reform, learning standards, and assessments; increasing middle school mathematics, science, and technology teachers' understanding of mathematics content and pedagogy; and improving curriculum alignment among the mathematics, science, and technology disciplines. MSTP integrates three components:
- collaborative professional development for school-based and higher education faculty;
- curriculum revision and alignment; and
- recruitment of underrepresented minority undergraduates in mathematics, science, and engineering into teaching careers.
The Principal Investigator of MSTP is David Burghardt.

This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the MSTP Project
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 have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
MSTP project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
