Iowa Department of Education

This program is designed to improve student academic achievement in mathematics and science by funding partnerships through a competitive grant process. The partnerships supported through this program bring together mathematics and science teachers with scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to expand teachers' subject matter knowledge of and research in science and mathematics. The program supports partnerships that provide opportunities for ongoing and advanced professional development for teachers, promote and support the redesign of instruction and curriculum in mathematics and science, and recruit mathematics, engineering, and science majors to teaching. Partnerships supported through this program must engage in activities that are based on scientific research. The Iowa Department of Education cooperates with the Iowa Board of Regents (which has a comparable program funded through Title II, Part A) in conducting the required competitive grant process.
