description:
"In this article, we report on work thus far (Years One and Two) of the Southwest Pennsylvania Math Science Partnership in using evaluation as a "bridge" to support and encourage the development of collaborative partnerships. We begin with a description of the SW PA MSP followed by its "theory of action" for intervention among and with stakeholders. We explore the overall evaluation plan that is built from this logic model (theory of action) and discuss examples of the role evaluation has served for the project in partnership development. We then consider a number of factors we have found to be of issue in the key school-level (K-12) / higher education (IHE) partnerships the Math Science Partnership is designed to foster."
