submitted during this timeframe are incomplete or inaccurate and/or if
re-submission of data is requested by the State education agencies
(SEAs), additional data collection may occur at other times throughout
the year. The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) report
provides national-level achievement data for all: (1) The percentage of
MSP teachers who significantly increase their content knowledge, as
reflected in project-level pre- and post-assessments; (2) the
percentage of students in classrooms of MSP teachers who score at the
basic level or above in State assessments of mathematics or science;

the proficient level or above in State assessments of mathematics or
science; (4) the percentage of students in classrooms of MSP teachers
who score at the proficient level or above in State assessments of
mathematics or science measures. The national-level information
includes an average of the percentage of proficient students in SEAs
administering annual state performance examinations from the previous
year to the current year. All projects are included in the GPRA report,
regardless of when the project began implementation of their MSP grant.
