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:
- increasing the number of qualified and certified mathematics teachers directly as sixty middle school and thirty high school mathematics teacher will be produced;
- preparing teachers to become Texas Master Mathematics teachers who will, in turn, provide leadership and mentoring for other teachers; and
- increasing student performance at higher levels in mathematics through classroom experience and summer institutes for students.
The Principal Investigator of Texas Middle and Secondary Math is Jasper Adams.

This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Texas
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
Texas Middle and Secondary Math project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
