Conceptual Model of Mathematics and Science Partnerships Program
MSP Grant and Funding Cycle
States have 15 months to award funds on
a competitive basis to partnerships consisting of
STEM faculty at an IHE and a “high-need” local
education agency.
Funds are released to the states through a formula
grant (number of students at poverty level) each July.
Congress appropriates funds for the program.
Projects submit annual/final reports to U.S. Department of Education within 60 days at the end of each 12-month
reporting cycle. U.S. Department of Education
Program Cycle
States fund winning project proposals.
2/2013
Who?• SEC. 2202.(f): Each eligible partnership
receiving a grant or sub-grant shall report to the Secretary…
How?• Partnerships/projects must send their APRs to
their State Educational Agency (SEA), the SEA must review and approve the APR, and submit it to the U.S. Department of Education (USED)
When?• Within 60 days of the end of the performance
period. 2/2013

Overview of APR Submission Process
Two Routes to Submission:
1)Full Submission (Normal)
2)Partial Submission (if data are not available)• Requires Approval from ED
2/2013
SEA creates APR for project to complete
Project completes APR and submits to SEA by the indicated date.
SEA reviews APR, and determines if it is acceptable OR if revisions are needed.
SEA sends APR to USED. Results are synthesized across projects and reported to Congress.
2/2013
Overview of APR Submission Process (Norm)
SEA creates APR for project to complete
Project completes APR, performs partial submission, and requests SEA approval for new completion date
SEA reviews partially submitted APR and determines if the APR is acceptable OR if revisions are needed. SEA negotiates final submission date with USED.
SEA sends APR to USED. Results are synthesized across projects and reported to Congress.
2/2013
Overview of Partial Submission Process (Extraordinary)
ONLY When student or teacher data will not be available on time.
• When a partial submission is selected, you must contact us at [email protected] to agree upon a new Revised Due to ED date.
• All sections of the APR must be completed and reviewed, other than the sections for which data are not available.
• Once the data are received, the project will only be able to edit the sections corresponding to the missing information they identified.

Creating an APR: 2 Methods
If this APR is for a project that already exists and is continuing for another year “Create a New APR Form” to copy the Annual Report
2/2013
Creating an APR: 2 Methods
If this APR is for a brand new project “Add a New MSP Project”
2/2013
When creating a new APR, State Coordinators should:
-Enter all information, paying special attention to:
Award DatesDue Dates
Performance Period Length of Award
-Must enter Project Abstract
2/2013
Archiving APRs
Archive if APR is: approval granted, a duplicate, or if funding was discontinued
2/2013
Archived ≠ Submitted
APR Website
Use APR website to: – Upload RFPs and State Evaluations– Review APRs – Change APR Status (Including Submit to ED)– Download Completed APRs
Project Directors also have access to this site. They see only their projects.

Selected APR Items
– X. State Review
– III.C. Delivering Professional Development
– IV.C.1. Total Number of Teachers receiving PD
– IV.D(E,F).2 Total Number of Teachers Who Primarily Work
in a High-Need School
– V.B. Types of PD Activities
– VII.J. Evaluation Report
– VIII.A.1. Teachers Receiving PD in Math and Science
– VIII.A. Administering more than one test
– VIII.B. GPRA indicators of Student Achievement2/2013
In Section X, report your state’s definition of a high-need LEA. You may copy and paste it directly from your RFP.
When you create an APR, you will be immediately prompted to fill out this item. Projects will need it to fill out their items.
2/2013
Section X. State Review
IV.D (E,F).2: Total Number of Teachers Who Primarily Work in a High-Need School
• Section IV.D.2 asks for the total number of elementary school teachers who primarily work in a high-need school, as defined by your state
• Sections IV. E.2 and IV. F.2. ask the same of middle and high school teachers.
2/2013
Section III.C. asks about delivering PD. -Indicate No PD delivered yet by checking the N/A box. -Automatically skips subsequent questions about PD.
2/2013
III.C. Delivering Professional Development
IV.C.1: Total Number of Teachers Receiving PD
• Section IV.C.1 asks for the total number of teachers receiving MSP professional development in Math or Science; projects should NOT double-count teachers who receive PD in multiple content areas here.
• Additionally, questions D.1, E.1, F.1, and G.1 should sum to the total reported in IV.C.1.
2/2013
Projects should pay close attention to the definition of summer institute and follow- up
-Summer Institute: minimum of 2 weeks or 60 hours
-Follow-up : at least 3 days in the classroom during the academic year
2/2013
V.B. Types of PD Activities
Attach evaluation in section VII.J
If final evaluation report, check the box.
2/2013
VII.J. Evaluation Report
Grantees who administer more than one test may report data from all assessments.
Use a separate MSP TCK spreadsheet for each assessment and aggregate results to respond to APR Items VIII 2, 3, 5, 6. 2/2013
VIII.A. Calculating #Teachers with Gains
VIII.A.1. Teachers receiving PD in Math and Science
2/2013
Total number of Participants, even if participant received PD in multiple subjects within either math of science
1 and 4. Number of people/courses in which people participated
2 and 5. Number of teachers who participated in PD and were tested
3 and 6. Number with significant gains (based on MSP TCK output)
In Section VIII.B report: -number of students with assessment data in Math and Science
-number of students who scored at basic or below
-number of students who scored at proficient or above for Math and Science.
2/2013
VIII.B. Indicators of Student Achievement
These two categories are mutually exclusive within Math and within Science and should sum to the total number of students with assessment data in Math or in Science.
