RESEARCH
What Organizations Are Doing to Improve Mathematics and Science Education
Archived Information




On March 13, as a follow-up to the Secretary's Summit on Mathematics, participants from business, K-12 and higher education, foundations, and professional organizations will convene to consider both what is going on currently to improve the quality of mathematics and science education in the U.S. and the nature of the problems confronting those who would do more.

Below are one-page descriptions of participating organizations' efforts to improve mathematics and science education. These descriptions, written by participants, are offered to help organizations see what other organizations are doing and perhaps identify opportunities to work together.

Descriptions are listed alphabetically by home organization. Where an organization submitted more than one, they are listed separately under the home organization's name.

Note: Individual programs may appear twice in the search results: once for the PDF file and once for the Word file.
