The Middle School Portal: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2) identifies digital resources that support reform-based middle school math and science teaching and learning. Its Mathematics Pathway and Science Pathway present standards-based publications that take an in-depth look at teachable concepts in math and science. All resources are examined with the following criteria in mind: content of the resource is accurate; it promotes student learning; it aligns with one or more national math and/or science education standards; it is grade-level appropriate; it promotes equity and access; and the resource is easily navigable. A blog called Connecting News to National Science Education Standards encourages science teachers to integrate current events into their instruction. Users can also search or browse by subject lists and register to be notified when new content is posted to the site.
