PRISM seeks to increase science and mathematics achievement by providing challenging science and mathematics curricula for all students; raising public awareness of the need for all students to complete the challenging curricula; increasing and sustaining the number, quality and diversity of P-12 teachers of science and mathematics; and increasing the responsiveness of higher education to the needs of schools. In 2003, the University of West Georgia received a satellite PRISM grant through the Georgia Department of Education. Through this 4-year grant, UWG faculty are working with area teachers, school administrators, and high school students to meet the goal of increasing science and mathematics achievement.
