The Puerto Rico Math and Science Partnership (PR-MSP) involves four universities within the Puerto Rico System (The University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras, Mayaguez, Cayey and Humacao campuses) in partnership with the Puerto Rico Department of Education and supporting institutions that include the other seven campuses of the UPR system, the Inter American University of Puerto Rico System, and the Arecibo Observatory as well as informal science education centers and industry partners. The Partnership's activities center on four goals: 1. Empowering schools through challenging K-12 Math and Science curriculum and professional development2. Increasing K-12 mathematics and science teacher quality through the preparation of future teachers and certified teachers3. Strengthening the mathematics and science knowledge base through educational research, assessment, and evaluation4. Creating sustainable K-20 partnerships Over 300 mathematics and science faculty and scientists from university partners and supporting organizations, forming four regional supporting teams, are working directly with K-12 Mathematics and science teachers and school and district personnel to provide professional development supporting the implementation and evaluation of challenging research-based curriculum and assessment to optimize math and science education for 305,000 students in 584 K-12 schools across the Island. The provision of new professional development and credentialing opportunities for mathematics and science teachers is impacting over 5,000 in-service teachers. The partnership is establishing 30 school-based Math and Science Resource Centers and a Math and Science Education Website to disseminate the challenging curricular and educational improvements among all schools in Puerto Rico. School Learning Communities and Mathematics and Science Leading Teachers at each school are working with science and mathematics faculty from the partnering institutions and industry to implement the curricular enhancement activities. Teams of teachers, faculty, and researchers are designing curricular activities that incorporate field trips using the local context as science laboratory, and engage students as active learners, enhancing their motivation and preparation for M&S advanced courses and research opportunities. Core partner universities are engaged in reform of teacher preparation programs reaching over 3,000 future K-12 teachers to ensure they are highly qualified to implement and sustain the PR-MSP educational improvements. Preservice students participate in structured scientific research experiences in collaboration with the supporting partners including the Arecibo Observatory, the U.S. Forest Service Institute of Tropical Forestry, and industry labs. Teams of teachers and faculty are conducting action research on student learning to provide evidence on the effectiveness of their innovations in the classroom. The impact of the PR-MSP on student achievement is measured through standardized tests based on TIMSS and NAEP assessments.

波多黎各数学和科学伙伴关系（PR-MSP）涉及波多黎各系统内的四所大学（波多黎各大学、里奥皮德拉斯、马亚圭斯、卡伊和乌马考校区）与波多黎各教育部和包括普遍定期审议系统其他七个校区、美洲波多黎各大学系统在内的支持机构合作，和阿雷西博天文台以及非正式的科学教育中心和行业合作伙伴。 该伙伴关系的活动围绕四个目标：1.通过具有挑战性的K-12数学和科学课程和专业发展2，增强学校的能力。通过培养未来的教师和认证教师，提高K-12数学和科学教师的质量3。通过教育研究、评估和评价加强数学和科学知识基础4。创建可持续的K-20伙伴关系来自大学合作伙伴和支持组织的300多名数学和科学教师和科学家组成了四个区域支持团队，直接与K-12数学和科学教师以及学校和地区人员合作，提供专业发展，支持具有挑战性的研究的实施和评估-基于课程和评估，以优化全岛584所K-12学校的305，000名学生的数学和科学教育。 为数学和科学教师提供新的专业发展和资格认证机会，对5 000多名在职教师产生了影响。该伙伴关系正在建立30个学校数学和科学资源中心以及一个数学和科学教育网站，以便在波多黎各学校中传播具有挑战性的课程和教育改进。 每所学校的学校学习社区和数学和科学带头教师正在与合作机构和行业的科学和数学教师合作，实施课程优化活动。 教师，教师和研究人员的团队正在设计课程活动，将实地考察使用当地环境作为科学实验室，并让学生积极学习，提高他们的动机和准备M S高级课程和研究机会。核心伙伴大学正在参与教师准备方案的改革，这些方案涉及3，000多名未来的K-12教师，以确保他们具备实施和维持PR-MSP教育改进的高素质。 预备役学生参与结构化的科学研究经验与支持合作伙伴，包括阿雷西博天文台，美国林务局热带林业研究所和行业实验室合作。 教师和教职员工团队正在对学生学习进行行动研究，以证明他们在课堂上的创新效果。PR-MSP对学生成绩的影响通过基于TIMSS和NAEP评估的标准化测试来衡量。
