Summary

Scientists are a rich resource in our society that may be useful in strengthening science and mathematics education in schools across the country. The National Science Foundation (NSF) asked RAND to study the range of NSF programs that connect science graduate and undergraduate students to K-12 classrooms. This book identifies the impacts, challenges, and strategies of these programs within the broader issue of creating university-school partnerships as a strategy for science education reform.
