Arkansas Statewide Systemic Initiative Program

9350027克劳阿肯色州系统倡议项目的核心愿景是消除学生在数学和科学方面取得成功的障碍，提高所有K-16年级学生的成绩水平，并加强公众对高质量的数学和科学对经济发展和个人成就感至关重要的理解。阿肯色州打算通过改变人们对数学和科学的态度，提高学生的知识和技能，并培养社区对教育系统的长期参与，来重组数学和科学教育。这一转变将通过地区伙伴关系的努力实现，每个地区伙伴关系都是由学校、大学、企业、家长和其他社区领导人组成的联盟。为了确保发生必要的变化，该倡议将制定数学和科学框架，通过阿肯色州数学和科学十字军东征实施大规模教师发展，为每个教室配备适当的材料和技术，将科学家和数学家带入教室，并将教师置于现实世界的研究环境中。社区教育和领导力发展将使家长和地方领导人在教育系统中发挥重要作用。教师培训和认证方面的变化将确保所有学生都能获得高质量的教学。应用学术课程将调整职业教育，并将在整个倡议中采用适当形式的技术。此外，国家将制定一个新的评估制度，其中将包括成绩评估和学生档案袋。这个新的评估系统将用于监测倡议的成功。*

9350027 Crowe The Arkansas Systemic Initiative Project has at its core a vision that seeks to eliminate barriers to student success in mathematics and science, raise achievement levels of all students in grades K-16 and improve public understanding that quality mathematics and science are crucial for economic development and personal fulfillment. Arkansas intends to restructure mathematics and science education by changing attitudes toward mathematics and science, improving student knowledge and skills and fostering long-term community involvement in the education system. This transformation will occur through the work of regional partnerships, each of which is a coalition of schools, colleges, businesses, parents, and other community leaders. To ensure that needed changes occur, the initiative will develop mathematics and science frameworks, implement large-scale teacher development through the Arkansas Math and Science Crusades, equip every classroom with appropriate materials and technology, bring scientists and mathematicians into classrooms, and place teachers in real-world research settings. Community education and leadership development will involve parents and local leaders in important education system roles. Changes in teacher preparation and certification will ensure that all students have access to quality instruction. The Applied Academics curriculum will restructure vocational education, and appropriate forms of technology will be employed throughout the Initiative. In addition, the State will be developing a new assessment system that will include performance assessment and student portfolios. This new assessment system will be used to monitor the success of the initiative.***
