Jaime Escalante Math and Science Program

“埃斯卡兰特数学和科学计划”是东洛杉矶学院的一项教学计划，它涉及许多研究表明是非常成功计划的特征的要素：全面、完善的计划、敬业的工作人员、父母的参与、社区支持、激励战略、商定的目标、协调的支持服务、以及挑战体制政策的意愿。该计划将增加在数学和科学方面达到或超过年级水平的学生的数量，此外，还将为市中心未被充分代表的学生准备微积分、计算机科学、化学、英语和物理的高级分级考试。该计划将制定一个正式的程序，将来自初中、高中、社区大学和四年制大学的教师、辅导员和工作人员聚集在一起，以改善课程衔接，更好地满足目标人群的独特需求。一个领导部分确保该项目将传播到洛杉矶地区的其他学校。来自学区、行业和东洛杉矶学院的大量费用分担表明，该计划得到了广泛的支持。

The "Escalante Math and Science Program" is an instructional program at East Los Angeles College that involves many elements that research has shown are characteristic of highly successful programs: a comprehensive well-developed plan, dedicated staff, parental involvement, community support, motivation strategies, agreed-upon objectives, coordinated support services, and a willingness to challenge institutional policies. This program will increase the number of students who are at and above grade level in mathematics and science and in addition will prepare inner-city , under-represented students for the Advanced Placement Test in calculus, computer science, chemistry, English, and physics. The program will develop a formal process to bring together teachers, counselors, and staff from junior high schools, high schools, community colleges, and four year colleges to improve course articulation and to better address the unique needs of the target population. A leadership component assures that the project will be disseminated to other schools in the Los Angeles area. Substantial cost-sharing from the school district, industry, and East Los Angeles College indicates extensive support for this program.
