Improving the Mathematics Performance of Low-Achieving, Middle School Students: A Teacher-Centered Model

这个为期两年的项目是一个以教师为中心的模式，旨在提高成绩较差的中学数学学生在代数领域的表现。工业、学校和EDC之间的合作是该项目的核心，其中包括一项工业人员的培训计划，这些人员将代替教师参加。四十八名教师将参加学年研讨会、暑期研讨会和暑期实验学校阶段。教师将有半天的时间从教室里出来参加正在进行的研讨会。费用分摊为NSF奖金的70%。

This two-year project is a teacher-centered model designed to improve the performance of low-achieving middle school mathematics students in the area of algebra. Collaboration among industry, schools, and EDC is central to the project, which includes a training program for industry personnel who will serve as substitutes for the teacher participants. Forty- eight teachers will participate in an academic-year seminar, summer seminar, and summer lab school phase. Teachers will be released from their classrooms on a regular half-day basis to participate in the ongoing seminar. Cost sharing is provided as 70% of the NSF award.
