The El Paso Math and Science Partnership (El Paso MSP) includes the three
urban school districts that encompass El Paso, nine rural school districts
in El Paso and Hudspeth counties, the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP),
El Paso Community College, the Region 19 Education Service Center, and
El Paso area civic, business and community organizations and leaders.
The El Paso MSP is aimed at improving student achievement in mathematics
and science among all students, at all preK-12 levels, and at reducing
the achievement gap among groups of students. The goals of the partnership
include:
fully engaging university and community college leadership
and mathematics, science, engineering and education faculty in working
toward significantly improved K-12 math/science student achievement;
ensuring
the number, quality and diversity of K-12 teachers of mathematics and
science across partner schools, particularly schools with the greatest
needs;
building the capacity of area districts and schools to provide
the highest quality curriculum, instruction and assessment, and to ensure
the highest level achievement in mathematics and science for every student;
ensuring
the K-16 alignment of mathematics and science curriculum, instruction
and assessment, to ensure that students graduating from area high schools
are prepared to enroll and be successful in mathematics, science and engineering
courses at UTEP and El Paso Community College; and
prioritizing research
on educational reform and preK-16 partnerships.
