Philadelphia Urban Systemic Initiative: Children Achieving in Science, Mathematics and Technology

9453043 Lemme费城USI（PUSI）被设计为一系列垂直网络，每个网络都建立在学生，教师，校长，工作人员和家长的社区之上，集中在该地区的22个K-12小学到高中的馈线模式集群之一。 这些网络通过分散的利益群体（科学教师、数学教师、技术专家、校长）的跨集群（全市范围）网络和地区范围的社区伙伴关系联系在一起。 PUSI寻求：（1）实施基于国家标准的K-12 MST课程，通过积极让学生参与自己学习的教学方法提供;（2）制定系统的专业发展计划，包括现有的NSF资助计划，大学合作伙伴和学校现场专业发展，雇用导师教师;（3）与费城少数民族综合区域中心、当地非正式科学机构和其他社区伙伴一起建立广泛的学生支持服务网络;（4）开始使用以表现为本的学生评估，以补充传统的评估;（5）发展家长和社区的伙伴关系，以支持MST教育;和（6）与费城“NSF协作卓越教师准备”培养未来的教师，他们的能力和态度补充USI的目标和目的。 ***

9453043 Lemme The Philadelphia USI (PUSI) is designed as a series of vertical networks, each of which is built upon a community of students, teachers, principals, staff and parents centered upon one of the district's 22 K-12 elementary-to-high school feeder pattern clusters. These networks are linked by cross-cluster (city-wide) networks of discrete interest groups (science teachers, mathematics teachers, technology specialists, principals) and by district-wide community partnerships. The PUSI seeks to: (1) implement a national standards-based K-12 MST curriculum delivered through instructional methods which actively involve students in their own learning; (2) enact a systemic professional development program incorporating extant NSF-funded programs, university partners and school site-based professional development that employs mentor teachers; (3) produce an extensive student support services network developed in conjunction with the Philadelphia Comprehensive Regional Center for Minorities, local informal science institutions and other community partners; (4) begin the use of performanae-based student assessment to complement traditional assessments; (5) develop parent and community partnerships in support of MST education; and (6) work with the Philadelphia "NSF Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation" to produce future teachers whose abilities and attitudes complement USI objectives and goals. ***
