PMSA: Memphis Minority Mathematics and Science Achievement Partnership Project

孟菲斯市学校孟菲斯，田纳西州琼斯，芭芭拉“孟菲斯少数族裔数学和科学成就合作项目”少数族裔在数学和科学方面的学习成绩在美国东南部比其他任何地区都要低。孟菲斯市学校系统共有大约105,000名学生和84,000名非裔美国学生，是该地区乃至美国最大的学校系统之一。在孟菲斯市学校系统的国家经验和实验中可以找到有希望的解决方案。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动员全社区的资源，以便有系统地加以采用，并使有效的方案拟订制度化，以便进行必要的长期努力。该项目有三个目标：1)提高少数民族学生在数学和科学课程上的入学率和成功率；2)增加少数民族大学入学率，增加数学和科学课程的入学率；3)完成有效规划的复制和制度化。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系列学校中实施，这些学校的少数族裔入学率为90%，占孟菲斯市学校系统学生和教师的三分之二。所需的社区资源将通过孟菲斯城市学校（memphis City School）牵头的合作项目进行动员，该学校包括一所历史悠久的黑人学院、一所综合性大学、一所健康科学大学和一个全国独特的社区基地协调机构。在第二阶段，将根据仔细和及时的监测、评价和分析的结果确定有效的活动并在全系统范围内推广。“自下而上”战略赋予教师和学校基层工作人员权力，“自上而下”战略涉及学校系统、高等教育、社区代表以及社区政治和商业领袖，将用于实现系统性变革。＊＊＊

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. ***
