Grantee Submission
This paper highlights some of the challenges and milestones inherent in building partnerships between institutions of higher education and public-school systems from an interdisciplinary approach. It discusses lessons learned from a Mathematics Science Partnership (MSP)-Start Partnership that was funded by the National Science Foundation from 2008 to 2011. The core partners of the partnership were Morgan State University and the Baltimore City Public Schools. One of the lessons learned was that it took a strong and committed leadership team working together to maintain and sustain this interdisciplinary partnership.
