Today, the ACS Office Of Public Affairs sent a call to action to more than 18,000 members of the ACS' Act4chemistry Network. The call to action urges them to contact their U.S. senators regarding funding for the Department of Education's Math and Science Partnership (MSP) program.
MSP has been successful in helping teachers deepen content knowledge, gain inquiry experiences, strengthen pedagogical skills, and better evaluate student learning. MSP initiatives also foster professional learning communities and programs that link classroom teachers with researchers in STEM fields and in STEM pedagogy. This program is the only dedicated source of funding for teacher professional development in the STEM subjects at the Department of Education and must be an integral part of any plan to improve teacher quality and student performance.
