Math and Science Teaching Needs

Nationwide, 28% of math teachers and 18% of science teachers in grades 9-12 do not have a major or minor in math or science.

The "No Child Left Behind" Act requires all teachers are "fully qualified" by the end of the 2005-2006 school year. This means:

Public elementary and secondary schoolteachers must be fully licensed or certified by the state.
New public school teachers must have a bachelor�s degree and pass a state test demonstrating subject knowledge in reading, writing, and mathematics.
New middle and high school teachers must have at least a bachelor�s degree and demonstrate competency in each of the academic subjects taught.
Current teachers must have at least a bachelor�s degree and pass an objective state evaluation demonstrating proficiency in subjects they.

The Math/Science Partnership Program can be used to help high need local school districts come into compliance with the requirements of the "No Child Left Behind" Act
