The University of North Carolina (UNC) Mathematics and Science Education Network (MSEN) applies the resources of UNC to strengthen mathematics and science education in K-16 schools throughout the state of North Carolina. MSEN has 10 centers located on university campuses statewide and six pre-college sites at these universities. University faculty direct center operations and provide workshops and courses for K-12 teachers. These professional development offerings bring teachers into contact with university faculty, scientists, and other professionals to expose them to the most current educational research. This publication of MSEN's long-range goals begins with vision and mission statements, followed by lists of beliefs and policies. Long-range goals are: (1) increase the number of underrepresented students who pursue mathematics- and/or science-based fields of study at the post-secondary level; (2) develop, implement, and evaluate programs that integrate technology into the teaching of K-12 mathematics and science; (3) conduct an ongoing and systematic program of assessment to identify those areas in North Carolina's mathematics and science education that need improvement; and (4) sponsor and conduct research and development in mathematics and science education. This booklet concludes with an Executive Summary. (PVD)
