The Puerto Rico Math and Science Partnership (PR-MSP) involves four universities within the Puerto Rico System (The University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras, Mayaguez, Cayey and Humacao campuses) in partnership with the Puerto Rico Department of Education and supporting institutions that include the other seven campuses of the UPR system, the Inter American University of Puerto Rico System, and the Arecibo Observatory as well as informal science education centers and industry partners. The Partnership's activities center on four goals:
- Empowering schools through challenging K-12 Math and Science curriculum and professional development
- Increasing K-12 mathematics and science teacher quality through the preparation of future teachers and certified teachers
- Strengthening the mathematics and science knowledge base through educational research, assessment, and evaluation
- Creating sustainable K-20 partnerships
The Principal Investigator of Puerto Rico MSP is Josefina Arce.
More information can be
found on a separate web site created by this project: http:// www.prmsp.org/ .
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Puerto Rico MSP
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
Puerto Rico MSP project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
