Elementary and Middle School Math and Technology Project (EM-MAT)

Project TEAM （Technology, Empowerment, and Mathematics）是一个为期三年的项目，旨在通过提高波士顿公立学校的教师素质，提高小学生和中学生的数学学习水平。团队建立在美国国家科学基金会资助的EMAT（小学数学和技术）项目的成功基础上，该项目也在波士顿进行。该项目将在波士顿每所小学完成两名数学教师领导的准备工作，并在波士顿每所中学培养一支中学数学教师领导干部队伍。在项目的每一年，40名骨干教师（20名小学，20名中学）将参加为期两周的暑期培训，随后在学年期间每月举行一次会议。在每个干部内部建立领导小组。学年活动包括在参与者的课堂上实施项目想法，每个月继续服务，以及参与者之间的电信网络。在项目的第二年和第三年，参与者将在艾森豪威尔支助下在地方一级进行在职活动。在之前的项目中，典型的会议时长是15个小时。波士顿地区现有的课程材料将作为教师适应和修订的基础。该项目由波士顿公立学校发起，并与波士顿大学和马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校的数学教育家合作。费用分摊由波士顿公立学校提供，占NSF奖金的76%。

Project TEAM (Technology, Empowerment, and Mathematics) is a three-year effort to enhance mathematics learning of elementary and middle school students, through teacher enhancement, in the Boston Public Schools. TEAM builds on the successful NSF-funded EMAT (Elementary Mathematics and Technology) Project, which also was conducted in Boston. The project will complete the preparation of two mathematics teacher leaders in every elementary school in Boston and will develop a cadre of middle school mathematics teacher leaders in each of Boston's middle schools. In each year of the project, a cadre of forty teachers (20 elementary, 20 middle school) will participate in a two-week summer institute, followed by monthly meetings during the academic year. Leadership teams will be established within each cadre. Academic year activity includes implementation of project ideas in participants' classroom, continued inservice each month, and telecommunications networking among participants. In the second and third years of the project, participants will conduct inservice activities with Eisenhower support at the local level. Typical sessions in the previous project were 15 hours long. Existing curriculum material produced in the Boston area will serve as a basis for teacher adaptation and revision. The project is initiated by the Boston Public Schools, and involves collaboration with mathematics educators at Boston University and the University of Massachusetts at Boston. Cost sharing is provided by the Boston Public Schools as 76% of the NSF award.
