TERC MSPnet: An Electronic Community of Practice Facilitating Communication and Collaboration

MSPnet (the Math Science Partnership Network) provides the MSP program with a web-based, interactive electronic community in order to build capacity and enrich the knowledge base of each individual MSP project as well as the MSP learning community as a whole.

Specifically, MSPnet:

1. expands MSP projects access to, and ability to share, resources, emerging research, tools, best practices, obstacles and strategies;
2. strengthens geographically dispersed partnerships by enhancing and sustaining dialogue through innovative collaborative tools, events and structures;
3. creates a growing archive, for both researchers and practitioners, of the lessons and accomplishments of the MSP program;
4. enhances the public's access to, and knowledge of, the MSP program;
5. conducts research on the impact of on-line formats, functionalities and structures to enhance large scale education reform efforts.

The Principal Investigator of TERC MSPnet is Joni Falk.

This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration between partners within the TERC MSPnet project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the library and resources sections have been made available to the public, only logged in members of the TERC MSPnet project can post comments, participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive Calendar.
