This Leadership Activities project will provide enhancement and professional development experiences for 60 exemplary secondary school mathematics teachers from rural Nebraska school districts. The overall goals of the multiyear project involve: 1) the updating and deepening of the participants' mathematics backgrounds and teaching methodologies, 2) the networking of the participant Fellows, six outstanding secondary mathematics teachers selected to be part of the project staff as Senior Fellows and the six university and college mathematics faculty, 3) the conduct of implementations of problem-solving lessons in participants' classrooms, 4) the conduct of at least four all-day in-service workshops by the participants for their colleagues in their home schools, 5) appropriate recognition for honors teacher participants, 6) the dissemination of the project methods, materials and results to nearby school systems and rural states, and 7) the investigation of the modelistic approach within a carefully planned documentation, assessment and evaluation effort. Selections of the 60 project Fellows and six Senior Fellows will be based upon detailed applications requiring expressions of teacher and school commitments to implement project emphases. Twenty Fellows, two Senior Fellows and two professors will study together at each of three sites (UN-Lincoln, Chadron State College, and Hastings College), all completing a similar program of professional development after three years which will include 6 graduate mathematics courses, 3 computer seminars and 3 dissemination seminars (24 graduate credits from UN- Lincoln). The participants will complete a five-week intense residential workshop each summer, rotating as a group to a different campus each summer. Participants will be visited and observed in their classrooms and in their workshops with their peers, and each will prepare a videotaped session to be shared with project staff and participants. Careful documentation and analysis of these observations and of teacher reports will provide a significant basis for a detailed project evaluation, both by project staff and expert external evaluators.

该领导活动项目将提供增强和 60所示范中学的专业发展经验 来自内布拉斯加州农村学区的数学教师。 整体 多年期项目的目标包括：1）更新和深化 参与者的数学背景和教学方法， 2)参与者的网络研究员，六个优秀的中学 数学教师被选为项目工作人员的一部分， 研究员和六所大学和学院的数学系，3） 在参与者中开展解决问题的课程 教室，4）举办至少四个全天在职讲习班 由参与者为他们在家乡学校的同事，5） 对荣誉教师参与者的适当认可，6） 将项目方法、材料和成果传播到附近 学校系统和农村国家，和7）调查的 在精心计划的文档、评估和评估中采用模型化方法 和评价工作。 将从60名项目研究员和6名高级研究员中选出， 基于需要教师表达的详细应用， 学校承诺落实项目重点。 二十个研究员，两个 高级研究员和两名教授将在三个 地点（联合国林肯，查德伦州立学院和黑斯廷斯学院），所有 三年后完成类似的专业发展计划 年，其中将包括6个研究生数学课程，3个计算机 研讨会和3个传播研讨会（24个联合国研究生学分， 林肯）。 参与者将完成一个为期五周的密集 每年夏天，住宅工作坊都会以小组形式轮流到不同的地方 校园每年夏天 参加者将被访问，并在他们的教室和 他们的研讨会与他们的同龄人，每个人都将准备一个录像带， 会议将与项目工作人员和与会者分享。 小心 记录和分析这些观察结果和教师报告 将为详细的项目评估提供重要基础， 由项目工作人员和外部专家评估。
