•  National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI)

    The National Math and Science Initiative (“NMSI”) replicates on a national scale programs proven to elevate public education rigor and student performance in the educational disciplines of science, technology, engineering and math (“STEM”), utilizing performance-based accountability and rigorous demand for results. NMSI’s College Readiness Program has produced unparalleled success in expanding the number of students enrolled and achieving qualifying scores on Advanced Placement® (AP®) math, science, and English (“MSE”) exams, especially among economically disadvantaged and minority students. NMSI coordinates the planning, implementation, management and funding of the Program, which includes content-focused teacher training and support, expanded enrollments, additional time on task for students, and awards based on academic excellence, cultivation of teacher leaders, and measurement of and accountability for achievement. The overall Program goal is the increase in the number of students taking AP MSE exams and receiving qualifying scores as a measure of collegereadiness.
