The Cleveland Math and Science Partnership includes the Cleveland Municipal School District, John Carroll University, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland State University and the Education Development Center. The Cleveland Municipal School District is the largest school system in Ohio, enrolling over 74,000 preK to 12th grade students of whom 71% are African American and 8% are Hispanic. The Cleveland Math and Science Partnership focuses on the mathematics and science teachers of over 15,000 secondary school students as the majority of these teachers in the District are not properly qualified and do not have the certification to effectively teach these subjects.
The partnership aims to improve student achievement in the Cleveland Municipal School District by equipping its teachers with additional skills acquired through university continuing education programs. The universities will establish three diverse graduate programs for Cleveland middle and high school mathematics and science teachers grades 6-12.
The Principal Investigator of Cleveland MSP is Bill Badders.

This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Cleveland
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Cleveland MSP project can post comments,
