Providing Technical Assistance to Increase the Participation of Minority Institutions in the Math and Science Partnership Program

Quality Education For Minorities Network, Washington DC

Investigators

Abstract

The Quality Education for Minority Network (QEM) will hold a workshop for Minority Serving Institutions that may submit a proposal to the Math and Science Partnership (MSP) program. Minority Serving Institutions play an important role in teacher preparation and development. Partnerships between these Institutions and school districts through the MSP program could substantially enhance the quality of education in the schools which serve proportionally high percentages of minority students. These workshops will help the MSP program at NSF achieve its goal of diversifying its awardees and the children served by them.
