The Grant

Lessons Studied, Lessons Learned is a Math & Science Partnership Grant awarded to the Macomb ISD in partnership with Oakland University by the Michigan Department of Education.  Funds are sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Education in compliance with "No Child Left Behind".

Lessons Studied, Lessons Learned is focused on middle school mathematics.  The goals are:

1. To deepen middle school mathematics teachers' content knowledge of mathematics they teach;
2. To increase teacher collaboration and knowledge of best practice for teaching middle school mathematics;
3. To increase teacher knowledge of Michigan's GLCEs and NSF Curricula Projects;
4. To increase the number of "highly qualified" middle school mathematics teachers in Macomb County; and
5. To improve middle school students' performance in mathematics as it relates to the Michigan standards and grade level expectations; and schools' AYP.

The MSP program is designed to increase the academic achievement of students in mathematics and science by enhancing the content knowledge and teaching skills of classroom teachers through partnerships between high-need school districts and the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics faculty in institutions of higher education.
