The Partnership for Research in Science & Math Education (PRISM) Project a university-K-12 school partnership program designed to provide resources for high school teachers and students. The participants include graduate students and professors in the Biological Sciences, Chemistry, and Mathematics Departments at Illinois State University, regional high school science and mathematics teachers, and their students.

PRISM is supported by National Science Foundation grant 0086354 from the Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education program.
PRISM originated in 2001 from a National Science Foundation Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education grant.

This partnership program, one of 56 in the nation, supports science and mathematics graduate students to provide resources for high school students and teachers in local school districts.

The program addresses issues of scientific literacy, equity, and attitudes toward science and math among high school students. The participants include graduate students and professors in the Biological Sciences, Chemistry, and Mathematics Departments, high school science and mathematics teachers, and their students. We are integrating research and teaching, as well as enhancing teaching and curriculum development skills for all participants through collaboration.
