SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Control No.: 3145–0199.
Expiration Date of Approval:
September 30, 2008.
1. Abstract
This document has been prepared to
support the clearance of data collection
instruments to be used in the evaluation
of the Math and Science Partnership
(MSP) program. The goals for the
program are to (1) ensure that all K–12
students have access to, are prepared
for, and are encouraged to participate
and succeed in challenging curricula
and advanced mathematics and science
courses; (2) enhance the quality,
quantity, and diversity of the K–12
mathematics and science teacher
workforce; and (3) develop evidencebased outcomes that contribute to our
understanding of how students
effectively learn mathematics and
science. The motivational force for
realizing these goals is the formation of
partnerships between institutions of
higher education (IHEs) and K–12
school districts. The role of IHE content
faculty is the cornerstone of this
intervention. In fact, it is the rigorous
involvement of science, mathematics,
and engineering faculty—and the
expectation that both IHEs and K–12
school systems will be transformed—
that distinguishes MSP from other
education reform efforts.
The components of the overall MSP
portfolio include active projects whose
PO 00000
Frm 00073
Fmt 4703

initial awards were made prior to MSP
competitions: (1) Comprehensive
Partnerships that implement change in
mathematics and/or science educational
practices in both higher education
institutions and in schools and school
districts, resulting in improved student
achievement across the K–12
continuum; (2) Targeted Partnerships
that focus on improved K–12 student
achievement in a narrower grade range
or disciplinary focus within
mathematics or science; (3) Institute
Partnerships: Teacher Institutes for the
21st Century that focus on the
development of mathematics and
science teachers as school- and districtbased intellectual leaders and master
teachers; and (4) Research, Evaluation
and Technical Assistance (RETA)
projects that build and enhance largescale research and evaluation capacity
for all MSP awardees and provide them
with tools and assistance in the
implementation and evaluation of their
work.
The MSP monitoring information
system, comprised of eight Web-based
surveys and one paper survey, collects
a common core of data about each
component of MSP. The Web
application for MSP has been developed
with a modular design that incorporates
templates and self-contained code
modules for rapid development and
ease of modification. A downloadable
version will also be available for
respondents who prefer a paper version
that they can mail or fax to the external
contractor.
Use of the information: This
information is required for effective
program planning, administration,
communication, program and project
monitoring and evaluation, and for
measuring attainment of NSF’s program,
project and strategic goals, as required
by the President’s Management agenda
as represented by the Office of
Management and Budget’s (OMB’s)
Program Assessment Rating Tool
(PART); the Deficit Reduction Act of
2005 (Pub. L. 109–171) which
established the Academic
Competitiveness (ACC) and the NSF’s
Strategic Plan. The Foundation’s FY
2006–2011 Strategic Plan describes four
strategic outcome goals of Discovery,
Learning, Research Infrastructure, and
Stewardship. NSF’s complete strategic
plan may be found at: https://
