PMSA-9353608 Memphis City Schools Memphis, TN Jones, Barbara "Memphis Minority Mathematics and Science Achievement Partnership Project" Minority academic performance in mathematics and science is lower in the southeastern United States than any other area. With a total of approximately 105,000 students and 84,000 African American students, the Memphis City School system is one of largest school systems in that region as well as the United States. Promising solutions may be found in national experience and experimentation within the Memphis City School system. However, it is becoming apparent that effective solutions must be comprehensive and ling term. Comprehensive and long term solutions require the mobilization of community wide resources for systemic adoption and the institutionalization of effective programming for the necessary through time effort. This project has three goals: 1) to increase enrollment and success of minority students in mathematics and science courses; 2) to increase minority enrollment in college and entry into mathematics and science courses; and 3) to accomplish replication and institutionalization of effective programming. The project will offer a comprehensive set of activities for student s, teachers, and parents. In its first phase, activities that have been identified as potentially effective will be implemented in a set of schools with 90% minority enrollments and 2/3's of the Memphis City School system's students and teachers. Required community resources will be mobilized through a collaborative led by memphis City School that includes a historically Black college, a comprehensive university, health sciences university, and a nationally unique community base coordinating agency. In its second phase, effective activities will be identified and extended systemwide based on the results of careful and timely monitoring, assessment and analysis. A "bottom up" strategy empowering teachers and school site level staff and a "top down" strategy involving school system, higher education, community representatives, and community political and business leaders will be used to bring about systemic change. ***

PMSA-9353608孟菲斯市学校孟菲斯，田纳西州琼斯，芭芭拉“孟菲斯少数民族数学和科学成就合作项目”少数民族在数学和科学方面的学术表现在美国东南部低于任何其他地区。孟菲斯城市学校系统共有约105，000名学生和84，000名非裔美国学生，是该地区以及美国最大的学校系统之一。在国家经验和孟菲斯市学校系统的实验中可能会找到有希望的解决办法。然而，越来越明显的是，有效的解决办法必须是全面和长期的。全面和长期的解决办法需要调动全社区的资源，以便系统地采用，并通过时间努力将必要的有效方案编制制度化。该项目有三个目标：（1）增加少数民族学生在数学和科学课程中的入学率和成功率;（2）增加少数民族学生在大学中的入学率和参加数学和科学课程的人数;（3）实现有效方案的复制和制度化。该项目将为学生、教师和家长提供一套全面的活动。在第一阶段，已被确定为潜在有效的活动将在一组学校实施，其中90%是少数民族入学，孟菲斯市学校系统的学生和教师占三分之二。所需的社区资源将通过孟菲斯城市学校领导的协作来动员，该学校包括一所历史悠久的黑人学院、一所综合性大学、健康科学大学和一个全国独特的社区基础协调机构。在第二阶段，将根据认真和及时的监测、评估和分析的结果，确定有效的活动并在全系统推广。将采用“自下而上”的战略赋予教师和学校一级工作人员权力，并采用“自上而下”的战略，让学校系统、高等教育、社区代表以及社区政治和商业领袖参与进来，以实现系统性变革。***
