Project Pathways targets mathematics and science learning and achievement in grades 9-12. The project will produce a research-based and tested model to support secondary mathematics and science teachers. Core partners include four school districts (Chandler, Mesa, Tempe, and Tolleson) and the Center for Research on Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology (CRESMET) at Arizona State University (ASU). The Maricopa Community College District and Intel are collaborators with ASU in delivering the project's research-based services and products to these districts. The demographics of the partner school districts mirror those of Arizona, where 45% of students are persons of color and the Hispanic population is expanding rapidly.
Pathways will produce tools and knowledge to guide secondary mathematics and science teachers in promoting conceptual learning and STEM behaviors that the literature deems essential for continued STEM learning and course-taking. These key behaviors include competence and flexibility in scientific inquiry, mathematical problem solving, and engineering design.
The Principal Investigator of Project Pathways: A Math and Science Partnership Program for Arizona Targeted Project Track is Marilyn Carlson.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Project Pathways
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 as
well as the interactive calendar have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Project Pathways: A Math and Science Partnership Program for Arizona Targeted Project Track project can post comments,
