Through participation in the California and National MSP learning networks, programs will collectively contribute to the knowledge base on teaching and learning so that research findings and successful evidence- based strategies can be broadly disseminated to improve educational practice. Programs also link assessment (classroom, local, and state) and accountability measures to their design and outcomes.
