    Summary

    The purpose of MSP is to improve the academic achievement of students in the areas of mathematics and science by encouraging State educational agencies, institutions of higher education, local educational agencies, elementary schools, and secondary schools to participate in programs that: Improve and upgrade the status and stature of mathematics and science teaching by encouraging institutions of higher education to assume greater responsibility for improving mathematics and science teacher education through the establishment of a comprehensive, integrated system of recruiting, training, and advising mathematics and science teachers;

    • Focus on the education of mathematics and science teachers as a career-long process that continuously stimulates teachers' intellectual growth and upgrades teachers' knowledge and skills;
    • Bring mathematics and science teachers in elementary schools and secondary schools together with scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to increase the subject matter knowledge of mathematics and science teachers and improve such teachers' teaching skills through the use of sophisticated laboratory equipment and work space, computing facilities, libraries, and other resources that institutions of higher education are better able to provide than the elementary schools and secondary schools;
    • Develop more rigorous mathematics and science curricula that are aligned with challenging State and local academic content standards and with the standards expected for postsecondary study in engineering, mathematics, and science; and
    • Improve and expand training of mathematics and science teachers, including training such teachers in the effective integration of technology into curricula and instruction.

    A major goal for the New Jersey Department of Education's Office Secondary Education (OSE) is to increase the capacity of schools to successfully implement the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Mathematics (NJCCCS-M). This work begins by insuring that all teachers of science and mathematics understand the shifts inherent in the standards and their impact on teaching, learning, and assessment. To advance this goal, the Office of Secondary Education is offering MSP funds to recruit, train, and mentor regional cohorts of Science or Mathematics Ambassadors (ambassadors). Once trained, ambassadors will provide training and technical support for teachers in their school and region.
