College Prepatory Mathematics Project

该项目将继续在芝加哥伊利诺伊大学培训教师，并将开始在另外两个地点--威斯康星大学帕克赛德分校和德保罗大学--培训教师。培训将包括关于以学生为中心的教学方法的强化暑期讲习班，例如使用创新的解决问题/面向应用的材料使用合作学习。教师将在暑期通过分组教授高中生暑期课程来获得使用这些材料的经验。每位教师将在下一学年为参加暑期课程的同一批学生在高中一年级综合数学的两节课上实施这些材料。本学年将有支持研讨会，以支持教师，以及由项目工作人员在课堂上观察。这种支持还将持续两个暑假和学年，老师们将在这两年向相同的学生教授高中二年级和三年级的数学。在分布在三个中心的五所高中，互动数学项目教材将由该项目支持的教师实施。一个全面的评估计划将跟踪该项目的学生表现和教师留任情况。

This project will continue training teachers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and will begin the training of teachers at two other sites -- the University of Wisconsin-Parkside and DePaul University. Training will consist of intensive summer workshops on student-centered methods for teaching, such as using cooperative learning using innovative problem-solving/applications-oriented materials. The teachers will gain experience using the materials in the summer by teaching groups of high school students taking summer courses. Each teacher will implement the materials in a double-period class of first-year integrated high school mathematics during the following school year for the same students that attended the summer course. There will be support seminars during this school year to support the teachers, as well as in-class observation by project staff. This support will continue for two more summers and school years, with the teachers teaching second- and third-year high school mathematics those years to the same students. In a total of five high schools spread among the three centers, the Interactive Mathematics Project materials will be implemented by the teachers supported by this project. A comprehensive evaluation plan will track student performance and retention of teachers from this project.
