PRISM is an initiative of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia in partnership with the Georgia Department of Education, four core public universities (two research institutions, one regional, and one state university) and additional supporting higher education partners, and thirteen school districts involving cities (Atlanta and Savannah), small urban regions and rural areas.
PRISM Phase II is conducting research on strategies that lead to changes in the culture of science and mathematics education where dimensions of culture include policies, practices, partnerships, and resources. Research studies in PRISM Phase II are producing further evidence of how and to what extent distinctive PRISM Phase I strategies - K-16 Professional Learning Communities, Culture of Higher Education and a Public Awareness Campaign - give rise to these four key elements of holistic cultural change.
The Principal Investigator of PRISM Phase I is Jan Kettlewell.
The Principal Investigator of PRISM Phase II is Sabrina Hessinger.

found on a separate web site created by this project: http:// www.gaprism.org.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the PRISM
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
PRISM project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
