PROM/SE Overview:
PROM/SE Mission
PROM/SE is a comprehensive research and development effort to improve mathematics and science teaching and learning in grades K-16. Begun in 2003, the five-year project is funded through a $35 million partnership agreement from the National Science Foundation.
The project involves six partners including Michigan State University and five consortia of school districts in Michigan and Ohio:
- St. Clair Regional Educational Services Agency, St. Clair County, Michigan
- Ingham Intermediate School District, Ingham County, Michigan
- Calhoun Intermediate School District, Calhoun County, Michigan
- SMART consortia, greater Cleveland, Ohio area
- High AIMS consortia, greater Cincinnati, Ohio area
The partnership's name is its goal: Promoting Rigorous Outcomes in Mathematics and Science Education. PROM/SE builds upon the foundations set by its individual partners, linking them together with some of the country's top mathematicians, scientists, and educational researchers at Michigan State University and other universities. Our aim is to create a powerful new approach to improving mathematics and science achievement for all students. PROM/SE is designed to help teachers and students meet new state and federal accountability standards while working with and within each schools particular situation.
