SUBJECT: Mathematics and Science Funding Announcement
LISTSERVE MESSAGE DATE: December 22, 2010
The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) announce the availability of Title II, Part B., Mathematics and Science Partnership Program Funds. DESE will award one or more projects from each of the three initiatives: Grade K-6 Mathematics, Grade K-6 Science, and Grade K-6 Success for ELLs. No award will exceed $500,000.
The intent of this program is to encourage institutions of higher education, local school districts, elementary schools, and secondary schools to participate in professional development activities that increase the subject matter knowledge and teaching skills of mathematics and science teachers. Professional development activities must be sustained, intensive, classroom focused, and aligned with state and local standards and mathematics and science curricula. These activities must result in a demonstrable and measurable improvement in student academic achievement in mathematics and science.
The postmarked deadline for this RFP is February 7, 2011.
The RFP packet is available on the DESE web site at:
