The 2024 Mathematics Professional Learning Partnership (MPLP) Grant Program, established by Senate Bill 153, Chapter 38, of the 2024–25 California State Budget, allocates $20 million to the California Department of Education (CDE). This funding supports high-quality mathematics instruction for K–12 students statewide in alignment with the 2023 Mathematics Framework. The funds will be distributed competitively to a single County Office of Education (COE) or a consortium of COEs, in partnership with the California Mathematics Project (CMP). The purpose is to enhance professional development for educators, focusing on mathematics coaches and teacher leaders.
The grant aims to develop and deliver educator training programs that align with the 2023 Mathematics Framework, equipping teachers with effective strategies for high-quality math instruction. It also emphasizes creating and sharing resources for K–12 educators to ensure consistent instructional practices. Collaboration with other professional development initiatives, such as the California Early Math Initiative and the Mathematics, Science, and Computer Science Professional Learning Grant, is a key aspect of this program. These partnerships are intended to coordinate resources and training to strengthen overall instructional quality and learning outcomes.
The grant is open to COEs with expertise in professional learning and mathematics instruction. Applicants must demonstrate capacity to deliver statewide professional development and collaborate effectively with existing initiatives. The application process is competitive, with detailed requirements outlined in the Request for Applications (RFA) on the CDE website. The selected COE will be responsible for ensuring that training and resources reach a wide audience of educators and align with the overarching goals of the 2023 Mathematics Framework.
