The Boston Science Partnership is a five-year NSF-funded Math and Science Partnership project designed to improve science teaching and learning in Boston's middle schools and high schools, to enhance university-level teaching by STEM faculty, and to ensure the university partners' continued support for and faculty involvement in science education. The Partnership involves the Boston Public Schools, the University of Massachusetts/Boston, and Northeastern University as the principal partners. Harvard Medical School and the College Board participate as supporting partners. CSE is conducting the research component of this project, which focuses on how and why the project's activities and the environments in which they have taken place ultimately affect teachers' instruction, and identifies the institutional capacities and barriers to sustaining changes and partnerships that have been made as a result of their involvement in this work.
