Santa Ana - Fullerton Elementary Mathematics Project (SAFEMAP)

该项目将使用新的加州数学框架作为模型，将内容和方法需求合并到圣安联合学区和奥兰治教区的66名小学教师的在职包中。该项目有两个目标：(1)识别和支持具有数学潜力的少数民族学童；(2)帮助K-6年级教师提高数学内容和数学教学技能。该项目代表了一所大学与一个学区和教区的合作关系，这些学区和教区的学生中有75%以上是西班牙裔，这是一个在需要数学和科学准备的职业中代表性不足的种族群体。有证据表明，在小学阶段，拉丁裔儿童在这些领域表现出成功的希望，但在高中或大学阶段却没有实现。该项目旨在通过识别具有数学潜力的儿童、让家长通过家庭-学校联系和培训教师来开发儿童的数学潜力来改善这种差异。该项目解决了教师培养和提高司的一个主要优先事项，即为所有学生提供数学机会。由四人组成的教学团队在教学内容和双语双文化教育方面具有专业知识和经验，以满足这些需求。

This project will use the new California Framework for Mathematics as a model to merge the content and methodology needs into an inservice package for 66 elementary teachers in the Santa Ann Unified School District and the Diocese of Orange. The project has two goals: (1) Indentify and support ethnic minority school children who have mathematics potential, (2) help teachers of K-6 improve their skills in mathematics content and mathematics teaching. The project represents a university's partnership with a school district and parochial diocese that have school populations that are over 75% Hispanic, an ethnic group that is underrepresented in professions requiring mathematics and scientific preparation. There is evidence that at the elementary school level, Latino children show promise of success in these areas, but this is not fulfilled at the high school or college level. The project seeks to improve this discrepancy by identifying children who show mathematical promise, involving parents through a home-school linkage and training teachers to develop childrens' mathematical potential. This project addresses a major priority of the Division of Teacher Preparation and Enhancement to extend opportunities in mathematics to all students. The instructional team of four have expertise in content and experiences in teaching and bilingual-bicultural education to meet these needs.
