University of New Hampshire Leadership Network for Teachers Grades 5-12

新汉普郡大学为这项为期三年的计划寻求资金，以影响美国东北部农村地区数学教学的方向。来自东北地区12所农村学校或学区的一名初中和高中数学教师以及一名学校监督员或管理员将参加该项目。教师们将参加两个暑期学院：第一个是为期四周的学院，重点是代数和统计学的教与学，第二个是为期三周的评估学院。然后，教师和他们的主管/管理人员将在第三个暑假参加一个为期两周的学院，重点是领导力发展、学校的变革过程，以及举办在职讲习班。学年的后续活动将包括NCTM东北地区会议的年度秋季会议和新汉普郡大学的年度春季会议，以及教职员工的学校访问。除了36名第一批教师和管理人员外，预计还将增加360名第二批初高中教师和管理人员。新汉普郡大学的费用分摊将占NSF预算的7%。加强美国农村地区初中和高中数学的教与学，必须是改善21世纪数学教育的重要组成部分。该项目可以作为这种改进的典范。

The University of New Hampshire seeks funds for the three-year program to impact the direction of the teaching and learning of mathematics in the rural regions of the Northeastern United States. Teams of a middle and a high school teacher of mathematics and a school supervisor or administrator from each of 12 rural schools or school districts in the Northeast will participate in the project. The teachers will attend two summer institutes: the first a four-week institute whose focus will be the teaching and learning of algebra and of statistics, and the second a three-week institute on assessment. The teachers and their supervisor/administrator will then attend a two-week institute the third summer which will focus on leadership development, the change process in the schools, and conducting inservice workshops. School year follow-up activities will include a yearly fall meeting at NCTM's Northeast Regional Conference and a yearly spring session at the University of New Hampshire as well as school visitations by the staff. In addition to the 36 first wave teachers and administrators, it is anticipated that an additional 360 second-wave middle and high school teachers and administrators will be enhanced. The University of New Hampshire's cost-sharing will account for 7% of the NSF budget. Enhancing the teaching and learning of middle and high school mathematics in rural pockets of the United States must be a vital component of improving mathematics education for the 21st Century. This project can serve as a model for such enhancement.
