Abstract

The Math Science Partnership of Southwest Pennsylvania is a collaboration among K–12 school districts, higher education institutions, and other partners aimed at improving math and science education. The partnership has three goals: to enhance the quality of the math and science education workforce at all grade levels, to create sustainable partnerships between K–12 and higher education in the teaching of math and science, and to increase K–12 students' knowledge of math and science. RAND's evaluation found indications of changes that were consistent with these goals, although further analyses did not produce evidence that the partnership was directly responsible for the changes.
