Statewide Program Goal To build capacity within local educational agencies (LEAs) to institutionalize effective mathematics and science professional development practices in order to impact student achievement.
Purpose of Statewide CaMSP Program • Increase teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, and improve instructional strategies. • Encourage LEAs and IHEs to form partnerships that focus on long-term professional development. • Bring teachers together with IHE faculty, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. • Encourage IHEs to assume greater responsibility for improving mathematics and science teacher education.
Purpose of CaMSP (continued) • Align and support State Board of Education (SBE) adopted mathematics or science standards • Ensure that students are prepared for challenging mathematics or science courses. • Make evidence-based contributions to the learning and teaching knowledge base. • Ensure sustainability by redirecting resources and designing and implementing new policies and practices.
Program Overview The CaMSP Program is scientifically based professional development for teachers that: • Evaluates and researches the effectiveness of the model used. • Is provided to a cohort of teachers over multiple years. • Increases the achievement of students in mathematics and science. • Adds to the knowledge base. • Results in change to policy and practices of the partners.
Key Features of Local CaMSP Projects • Partnership-Driven • Teacher Quality • Challenging Courses and Curricula • Evidence-based Design and Outcomes • Institutional Change and Sustainability
