Promoting Rigorous Outcomes in Mathematics and Science Education (PROM/SE) is a comprehensive research and development effort to improve mathematics and science teaching and learning in grades K-12, based on assessment of students and teachers, improvement of standards and frameworks, and capacity building with teachers and administrators.
PROM/SE encompasses nearly 60 school districts, 7,000 teachers and 300,000 students. 37% of these students come from impoverished homes. Phase II partners include Calhoun ISD, MI; Ingham ISD, MI; Michigan State University; and SMART Consortium, OH. Phase I partners also included: High AIMS Consortium, OH and St. Clair RESA, MI
PROM/SE utilizes a unique combination of research and practice. Detailed data from all students and teachers are gathered. All project activities stem from this data including focusing content standards, aligning standards with instructional materials and improving mathematics and science teaching. Evidence-based and content focused professional development improves the subject matter knowledge of mathematics and science teachers.
The Principal Investigator of PROM/SE is William H. Schmidt.
More information can be
found on a separate web site created by this project: http:// www.promse.msu.edu.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the PROM/SE
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 as
well as the interactive calendar have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
PROM/SE project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups.
