Long Island Mathematics Enrichment Institute for High Ability or High Potential Young Women

纽约州立大学/老韦斯特伯里学院将实施一个为期两年的项目，为高能力或高潜力的年轻妇女创建长岛数学丰富研究所。拟议的工作将与拿骚县数学协会、萨福克县数学协会和拿骚县数学监督协会合作建立。老韦斯特伯里中学每个学期都会有25名高能力或高潜力的10年级或11年级的年轻女生参加，每学期都有两个15-周六上午的课程。在本学年期间，青年妇女将参加职业认识会议、提高认识的努力、榜样讲座、励志讲习班和专门的数学教学。参与者将经历60个小时的学年项目活动，以及12个小时的夏季后续活动。参与者将与学区的同学分享学院的培训和动力。工作坊/研讨会的录像将使教师有机会与没有参与的学生一起观看演示文稿。在第二年之后，将提供一本“如何”复制手册，供全国复制。在高中课间休息期间进行的四次以研究为导向的实地考察/演示将补充学年的工作。家长参与研讨会、辅导部分和职业规划课程为学院的设计增添了一个必要的维度。

The State University of New York/College at Old Westbury will implement a two-year project to create the Long Island Mathematics Enrichment Institute for High Ability or High Potential Young Women. The proposed effort will be established in collaboration with the Nassau County Mathematics Association, the Suffolk County Mathematics Association, and the Nassau County Mathematics Supervision Association. For each of two fifteen-Saturday morning cycles Old Westbury will work with twenty- five high ability or high potential 10th or 11th grade young women per semester in the region. During the academic year, young women will participate in career awareness sessions, consciousness-raising efforts, role model lectures, motivational workshops and specialized mathematics instruction. Attendees will undergo sixty hours of academic year project activities, and 12 hours of Summer follow-up exposure. Participants will share Institute training and motivation with classmates in school districts. Videotaping of workshops/seminars will afford teachers the opportunity of viewing presentations with nonparticipating students. A "how to" replication manual after Year II will be available for national replicability. Four hands-on research- oriented field visits/demonstrations during high school intersession breaks will complement academic-year efforts. Parental involvement in workshops, a mentoring component and career planning sessions add a necessary dimension to Institute design.
