The Maine Mathematics
and Science Teaching Excellence
Collaborative, MMSTEC,
is an exciting $4 million 5-year project that is funded by the National
Science Foundation's Collaboratives for Excellence in Teacher Preparation
program as of September 1, 2000. The project involves a collaboration
between mathematics and science educators at the Maine Mathematics
and Science Alliance (MMSA), University of Maine, University of Southern
Maine, and University of Maine at Farmington. The Orono campus budget
alone is over $1 million for the 5 years. Additional
budgetary benefits to the Orono campus will be provided from the MMSA
project-administration budget of about $1 million. The MMSTEC Project
is addressing the shortage of qualified K-12 teachers of mathematics
and sciences, by addressing goals of teacher recruitment and support,
and teacher improvement.
MMSTEC's recruitment site is EducateMe.info.
