Project MIST (Mathematics Integrated with Science using Technology) is a 3-year, $850,000 teacher professional development project. The MIST partnership consists of three entities that collaborate via the UNLV Center for Mathematics and Science Education (CMSE): the Curriculum and Professional Development Division of the Clark County School District (CPD/CCSD), the UNLV College of Education and the UNLV College of Sciences.

Project MIST seeks to provide teacher development to integrated teams of teachers from fifth through eighth grades. Annually, Project MIST will provide a 2-week summer Institute for approximately twenty-five triads of teachers. Each triad will consist of a middle school science teacher, a middle school math teacher, and an elementary school teacher. Estimation & Classification, Constancy & Change,and Causation & Correlation are the annual themes for the summer Institutes. The participating teachers, recognized as MIST Fellows, will continue with graduate-level coursework during the academic year. Fellows will gain highly qualified status by earning graduate credits in mathematics/science and education. Project goals include development of a professional learning community, reformed teacher practice, and improved content knowledge for both teachers and their students.

Project PASS (Proficiency And Success in Science) is a 3-year, $800,000 collaborative teacher professional development project funded by the Nevada Mathematics and Science Partnership Program. The PASS partnership includes the Curriculum and Professional Development Division of the Clark County School District (CPD/CCSD), the UNLV Center for Mathematics and Science Education (CMSE), and the Southern Nevada Regional Professional Development District (SNRPDP).
