The Status of Science and Mathematics Education in Memphis Schools

9353303琼斯这个奖项授予孟菲斯城市学校，是为了表彰孟菲斯市对科学和数学教育的自学。它由一个战略规划指导委员会指导，该委员会广泛代表社区、教育工作者、商界和政策制定者。自学将首先对该市科学和数学项目的目标进行审查，然后陈述这些目标并制定实现这些目标的计划。该委员会将由孟菲斯城市学校的研究、数学和科学专家组成，研究服务协调员将担任负责自学的工作人员。数据收集将包括各种协调一致的程序、观察、新的数据收集以及对其中现有信息的分析。广泛的参与者将参与目标澄清、研究设计、测量、分析和报告，从而确保孟菲斯人的广泛代表性群体的所有权和“买入”。研究结果将通过参与研究本身的个人和团体网络广泛传播。该委员会将继续定期审查数学和科学教育的状况，并将发布关于孟菲斯市数学和科学教育状况的报告。该项目的成本分摊将是NSF部分的19%。***

9353303 Jones This award to the Memphis City Schools is for a self-study of science and mathematics education in the city of Memphis. It is directed by a Strategic Planning Steering Committee that is broadly representative of the community, educators, business, and policy makers. The self-study will begin with an examination of goals for the city's science and mathematics programs leading to a statement of those goals and a plan for their attainment. The committee will be staffed by research, mathematics, and science specialists from the Memphis City Schools, with the Coordinator of Research Services as the staff person in charge of the self-study. Data collection will include a variety of coordinated procedures, observations, new data collection, and analysis of existing information among them. A broad range of participants will be involved in goal clarification, study design, measurement, analysis, and reporting thereby insuring ownership and "buy-in" by a broadly representative group of Memphians. The results will be broadly disseminated using the network of individuals and groups involved in the study itself. The committee will continue to review the status of mathematics and science education periodically and will issue reports on the state of mathematics and science education in the City of Memphis. The cost-sharing for the project will be 19 percent of the NSF portion. ***
