Student Results Show Benefits of Math and Science Partnerships
Improvements shown in nearly every age group when schools partnered with higher education

Excerpt from press release:
"Students' performance on annual math and science assessments improved in almost every age group when their schools were involved in a program that partners K-12 teachers with their colleagues in higher education.

While an earlier study tracked schools that began work in the first year of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Math and Science Partnership program (MSP), the most recent study followed more than 300 schools participating in partnerships that began to be funded during the program's second year."
