 | | Maryland K-16 Partnership for Teaching and Learning brings the University System of Maryland, the Maryland State Department of Education, and the Maryland Higher Education Commission together to work to strengthen educational achievement from pre-school through college, and beyond. |
 | | Networked through the Education Trust and the National Association of System Heads, Maryland was one of the first states to establish a K-16 Partnership, and it remains one of the more active partnerships in the entire nation. |
 | | In addition to the grant-funded activities, the University System of Maryland collaborates with state-wide partners to develop new programs, such as the Associate of Arts of Teaching degree, shared standards for written communication in first year writing courses, and “bridge goals” for mathematics alignment between high school and college. |
