PRISM proposed a systemic cultural reform of the USG, a key objective of which was to enlist the participation of higher education faculty--scientists, mathematicians, and educators, to improve the teaching and learning of science and math in K-16. This presentation highlights the anthropological approach that PRISM adopted to develop (1) a Reward Structure that would encourage self-identified researchers to integrate in their academic workload discipline-based pedagogical goals and activities in K-12 schools, and (2) propose a new Systemic policy to reinforce and sustain such practices. This study includes data-based recommendations for site-tailored sustainable implementation of these cultural changes.
