Transition Math Project

TMP- II
Local / Regional Partnerships

Summary of Phase II, 2006 - 2009
With the successful completion and publication of the College Readiness Standards, the Transition Mathematics Project transitions itself into an implementation-focused Phase II. The project has created funding opportunities establishing partnerships to continue the critical process of encouraging and enabling teachers in efforts to increase student math achievement. From throughout the state, newly-funded and enhanced collaborative efforts will join the current TMP partnership.

Phase II is part and parcel about capacity-building for teachers and schools to address the significant challenge of helping all students achieve college readiness in math. More specifically, the work
of Phase II will foster local/regional, cross-sector partnerships built around the TMP’s core principles.

An eps and a jpg format of the TMP-II Logo is available to all of our partners for use in publications and promotions at:

The core principles include: (1) full cross-sector partnership; (2) implementation of the College Readiness Standards (and 11/12 GLEs); (3) strong faculty/teacher involvement; (4) built on local needs & energy; (5) connects to the larger TMP statewide effort (partnership development, math placement, examples development, communications); and (6) sustainable.

Essential to generating and sustaining significant and lasting teacher change is the development of professional learning communities and new partnerships. Through new and enhanced partnerships, teachers from across the sectors will have the unique opportunity to articulate and examine conceptions about mathematics, student thinking, and instructional practice. To achieve this (and much more), TMP has established twelve new partnerships representing many of the state’s diverse regions. They are presented below:
