The Milwaukee Public Schools are taking a lead on a
comprehensive approach to integrating the Mathematics Common
Core State Standards with science standards. As a plan of action
to improve PreK-12 student learning and achievement in
Mathematics and Science, the MPS Comprehensive Mathematics and
Science Plan (CMSP) is designed to equip every student with the
levels of rigor and relevance needed for success in college and
career readiness. The CMSP will expand on the approached
utilized in the 2010-2011 school year to develop and implement
the Comprehensive Literacy Plan (CLP) to improve literacy
performance. The CLP provides a single, district-wide vision for
PreK-12 teaching and learning in literacy, and includes high-
quality instructional materials aligned to curriculum, and on-
going professional development for key district staff.
Foundational to the CMSP is a district-wide vision for
mathematics and science. Its development is currently underway,
and will be implemented during the 2011-2012 school year. Th
