Technical Assistance to the Statewide Systemic Initiatives Projects

教育发展公司将通过以下方式向全州系统倡议计划提供技术援助：1.为正在进行的SSI项目提供技术援助；2.通过各种联网活动协助SSI州；3.为SSI州制定领导程序；以及4.协助其他州发展SSI项目。EDC将(1)协助每个参与国有效地实施其数学和科学改革计划并使其制度化，(2)建立一个自给自足的永久国家网络，作为支持正在进行的科学和数学教育改革努力的论坛。每个SSI州将由一个以EDC为基础的州联络技术援助小组提供支持，该小组将全面了解每个州的基础设施、资源、问题和限制。在此基础上，该小组将设计适当的技术援助战略，以支持每个州实现其项目目标。此外，将建立由每个州的参与者组成的行动小组，以处理所有国家共同的问题，这些问题可以通过集体努力得到最佳解决。这些行动小组将得到经发会小组及其顾问的支持。支持这一努力的活动将包括：提供持续的有针对性的磋商；建立和运作通信网络；组织和举办各种会议、论坛和会议；建立最新资源信息交换中心；记录和提炼数学和科学教育系统改革方面的新知识。

The Education Development Corporation will provide technical assistance to the Statewide Systemic Initiatives Program by: 1. Providing technical assistance to active SSI projects; 2. Assisting SSI states through various networking activities; 3. Developing a leadership process for SSI states; and 4. Assisting other states to develop SSI projects. EDC will (1) assist each participating state in effectively implementing and institutionalizing its program for mathematics and science reform, and (2) establish a self- sustaining and permanent national network that will serve as a forum for supporting the science and mathematics education reform efforts underway. Each SSI state will be supported by an EDC-based state liaison technical assistance team that will develop a thorough understanding of each state's infrastructure, resources, problems, and constraints. Based on this understanding the team will design appropriate technical assistance strategies to support each state in carrying out its project goals. In addition, Action Groups composed of participants from each state will be established to address issues common to all states that can be best addressed through collective effort. The action groups will be supported by the EDC team and its consultants. The activities that will support this effort will include providing ongoing targeted consultation; establishing and operating a communications network; organizing and conducting meetings, forums and conferences; developing a clearinghouse for state-of-the-art resources; and documenting and distilling new knowledge in systemic reform in mathematics and science education.
