The Center for Science, Mathematics and Technology Education will develop integrated materials for seventh grade students centered around the topics of biotechnology, manufacturing and forecasting. Each unit will include objectives, experiential learning, appropriate use of multimedia, and appropriate technology and evaluation instruments. Attention will be given to preparing materials that motivate all students, especially those from groups underrepresented in technological careers, to learn the foundational mathematics, science and technology concepts by involving them in enriched learning experiences relevant to their daily lives. The materials will be developed together with teachers, piloted revised, tested, published and disseminated through a marketing plan supported by a publisher. To maximize the potential for long-range impact, systemic problems that impede the implementation of integrated materials will be identified and alternate solutions will be proposed. Implementation materials will be developed so that systemic changes can be made and the materials taught with minimal teacher development. Student performance data will be gathered to determine the increase in achievement in mathematics, science and technology.

科学、数学和技术教育中心将围绕生物技术、制造和预测等主题，为七年级学生开发综合材料。每个单元将包括目标、体验式学习、多媒体的适当使用以及适当的技术和评估工具。将注重编写教材，鼓励所有学生，特别是那些在技术职业中任职人数较少的学生，通过让他们参与与其日常生活相关的丰富学习经验，学习基本的数学、科学和技术概念。这些材料将与教师一起编写、试行修订、测试、出版，并通过出版商支持的营销计划进行传播。为了最大限度地发挥长期影响的潜力，将查明阻碍综合材料实施的系统性问题，并提出替代解决办法。将编写实施材料，以便在最大限度地减少教师发展的情况下进行系统改革和讲授材料。将收集学生的表现数据，以确定在数学、科学和技术方面的成绩增长。
