Welcome, you are visiting WMMP

The Western Massachusetts Mathematics Partnership
The WMMP MSP-Start project focuses on three primary objectives, including: establishing effective professional learning communities, developing a long term plan to enhance mathematics teaching K-16, and closing achievement gaps among diverse student populations. The project accomplishes this via two phases involving a needs assessment during the first phase. For the second phase, the five working groups are designing the research project to address the issues identified during phase one, sharing findings, and communicating across working groups.

The broader impacts of the work are substantial and address the persistent problems of achievement gaps, of training highly-qualified new teachers and supporting in-service teachers, and of providing appropriate and challenging curricula for all students.
