Welcome!
The University of Colorado Denver (UCD) in collaboration with four other institutions of higher education, seven school districts, one BOCES, and the National Science Foundation initiated the Rocky Mountain-Middle School Math and Science Partnership (RMMS-MSP) in fall 2004. The purpose of the partnership is to increase student achievement in grades 6-8. Through the partnership teachers who participate in the professional learning aspect of the project will increase their impact on student learning through increasingly effective instruction in mathematics and science. In addition, the teacher participants in the RM MSMSP professional learning will help create a cadre of mathematics and science leaders across Colorado. Middle school students who participate in summer mathematics and science camps will increase their understandings of central concepts in mathematics and science.
Why this program?
Through this program, current teachers increase their science, math, and pedagogical content knowledge. Teachers can apply these courses to a masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction through the School of Education & Human Development.
Program Requirements
Applicants should be current teachers. Priority is given to middle school teachers who teach in Adams County 14, Brighton 27J, Elizabeth, Englewood, Gilpin, Jefferson County, or Mapleton School District.
How does it work?
The program starts in the summer each year. Teachers interested in participating, apply to the program starting in January. If accepted to the program, then teachers will be placed into summer courses.
