The M in STEM Collaborative is a dynamic statewide network uniting educators, business professionals, state employees, and nonprofit leaders in a shared mission to expand access to high-quality math education. By fostering collaboration across sectors, the Collaborative works to ensure that all students in Michigan can engage with and benefit from math experiences that are both inclusive and impactful. Together, we are committed to empowering educators, enhancing student opportunities, and elevating the importance of mathematics in shaping the future workforce.

The M in STEM Collaborative meets quarterly to develop strategies, drive activities aligned with our strategic plan, and guide the statewide implementation of math education initiatives. In addition to these meetings, the Collaborative has dedicated workgroups that convene regularly to focus on specific goals and ensure the successful achievement of our outlined outcomes. Through these coordinated efforts, we are making meaningful strides toward a future where every Michigan student has access to high-quality math experiences.

Though we have established partnerships with organizations, our collaborative comprises of multiple organizations coming together to support math education in Michigan.


Aligning efforts to support Mathematics


M in STEM Collaborators

The Michigan M in STEM Collaborative seeks to create learning environments that produce more equitable outcomes for students such that demographic indicators (eg. race, gender, socioeconomic status, disability, sexual orientation, and zip code) are less predictive of student success in STEM.

The Michigan M in STEM Collaborative is looking for partners in K-12, ISD/RESA, higher education, business & industry, and community!

M in STEM Landing Page

As a result of statewide strategic planning in August 2022 where 55 STEM stakeholders convened to determine a vision for consortia work, the Math Action Area convened 25 stakeholders in April - August 2023 to refine the following outcomes as a vision for our work through 2026:



About M in STEM

Vision & Outcomes


By 2026, in order to ensure ALL students - focusing on those who have been historically excluded - have relevancy, belonging, access, application, and support in math education, we will communicate a vision for culturally responsive mathematics pedagogy (CRMP) by creating a CRMP resource hub.

Culturally Responsive Mathematics Pedagogy


By 2026, in order to support students' foundational mathematics understanding, skills, and dispositions, we will increase by 20% the number of teachers trained to effectively teach Pk-5 mathematics.



Foundational Mathematics


By 2026, in order to build leadership capacity in the field, we will increase the number of regional groups/teams (ISD/RESA/Community) trained in implementing 3P pedagogy in 6th - 12th grade in schools/districts to over 16.
