Stephen F. Austin State University and twelve independent school districts establish the Texas Middle and Secondary Mathematics Project as an effort to positively impact student achievement in mathematics through better preparation of teachers to teach mathematics.

The Texas Middle and Secondary Mathematics Project expects to improve the capacity of mathematics teachers in grades 4-12 to impact student performance within the partner districts by:

1. increasing the number of qualified and certified mathematics teachers directly as sixty middle school and thirty high school mathematics teacher will be produced;
2. preparing teachers to become Texas Master Mathematics teachers who will, in turn, provide leadership and mentoring for other teachers; and
3. increasing student performance at higher levels in mathematics through classroom experience and summer institutes for students.
