Please note that the project abstract will be used to describe your project in publications and on the ED-MSP website. Even if your state coordinator has already provided an abstract in another section of the report, the abstract must also be typed or cut and pasted into the space provided so that it can be automatically transferred to the public website. Please note that this is a summary of your project and is limited to 1000 words. You will be able to describe your project more fully in other sections of the APR. Instead of focusing on technical details, provide general information that can orient readers unfamiliar with your work. This includes the partner organizations, regions, participants, and populations affected by your project, as well as the most important elements of your professional development model that would be interesting to others. Include your primary goals and objectives, and any other useful background.

17 Reports: US Department of Education Professional Development Models In the Professional Development Models section, you will be asked for information about the type of professional development model(s) used in your MSP project. This includes the average number of professional development hours per participant, as well as categorizing whether your professional development included a summer institute of at least two weeks (or 60 hours). When providing the Total Contact Hours, be sure that this is the average course load for a participant in your project. Thus, if some participants missed a few hours of a course, you would still count the full hours of that course. But if 20 courses were offered, and the average participant only took 2 courses, you should list the number of hours for the 2 courses. You will also select types of professional development activities from a list, and provide a short narrative description of your professional development model.
