Grant Ceremony at Texas Tech
$3,000,000 to the Middle School Math and Science (MS)2: Understanding by Design master’s degree program. The main goal of the Middle School Math and Science (MS)2: Understanding by Design program is to prepare and increase the number of highly qualified in-service middle school math and science teachers in Texas. This program will provide opportunities for math and science teachers to:
(1) deepen their understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) content and pedagogical content knowledge;
(2) create meaningful connections between STEM disciplines as a method of making math and science content relevant to a diverse population of middle school students;
(3) develop communication and mentoring skills through dialogue with other math and science teachers and with STEM and education faculty regarding the ties between math and science in effective instruction;
(4) experience and produce through group teamwork integrated curricula that focus on addressing common misconceptions to improve middle school education.
