The target populations for the SITES-M project include: Pre-service teachers at the participating HBCUs and selected K-4 in-service teachers and pupils at these campuses’ partner elementary schools in Nashville, Knoxville, Jackson and Memphis.  These college-school partnerships are the cornerstone of this statewide project.  

In addition to seeking to improve the knowledge of mathematics for teaching, SITES-M seeks to create a closer relationship between those institutions that prepare teachers and those that employ them.  Each HBCU campus was asked to identify a partner school, preferably one with which it already had an established relationship and to which it regularly sends its teacher graduates.
