The Appalachian Math Science Partnership helps strengthen and reform education in math and science in pre-K through grade 12 classrooms in participating districts in Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia.
The AMSP program seeks to demonstrate improved student achievement in mathematics and science through the support of partnerships that unite the efforts of teachers, administrators, guidance counselors and parents in local schools with administrators and faculty at area colleges and universities.
AMSP's goals are to eliminate the achievement gap in science and mathematics in the Central Appalachian region and to build an integrated elementary, secondary and higher education system in this underserved region.
The Principal Investigator of Appalachian MSP is Paul Eakin.

found on a separate web site created by this project: http:// www.appalmsp.org/ .
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Appalachian MSP
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
Appalachian MSP project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
