- St. Clair Regional Educational Services Agency, Michigan
The partnership's name is its goal: Promoting Rigorous Outcomes in Mathematics and Science Education. PROM/SE builds upon the foundations set by its individual partners, linking them together with some of the country's top mathematicians, scientists, and educational researchers at Michigan State University and other universities. Our aim is to create a powerful new approach to improving mathematics and science achievement for all students. PROM/SE is designed to help teachers and students meet new state and federal accountability standards while working with and within each schools particular situation.
