CRCM "ACCESS"

加州州立大学洛杉矶分校，CA Cobb, Jewel“南加州科学与工程准入中心和网络”自1989年以来，准入中心在解决大洛杉矶盆地科学、工程、数学（SEM）管道中少数族裔学生代表性不足的问题方面取得了重大进展。为此，ACCESS提供了协调一致的项目，使用以教师提升和学生直接干预为中心的策略，提供连续性和顺畅的管道通道。这是第六年的延续拨款，继续ACCESS中心的工作，并特别审查过去五年的项目和实践，以确定哪些是成功的，以便未来复制。在第六个年头，ACCESS的主要目标是采取三管齐下的方法，包括反思性评价、学生直接干预和教师提升。ACCESS已经确定了两个主要目标：1)通过评估ACCESS赞助项目的样本来确定哪些项目有效；2)通过将资源集中在我们最成功的项目上，加强现有项目。为了实现第一个目标，ACCESS将召集一个外部评估委员会，该委员会将负责提供模型项目随时间发展的“快照”。除了一般的人口统计数据外，还将包括有关学生直接干预和提高教师水平的问题。由实施评估小组制定的评估计划将利用MOS数据、学校记录、考试成绩、访谈和其他来源。直接的学生干预将继续与大学预科项目。ACCESS将在4年级和5年级与林肯高中模式项目复制的三个衍生站点合作。这个项目的目标是进入高中的学生，他们是代表性不足的少数民族，是“B”或“C”学生。该项目是一个以课堂为基础的直接干预项目，重点是严格的学术工作，辅导支持，丰富活动和家长参与。第三项主要活动将是继续我们在中学教师数学和科学方面的教师提升计划。教师的提升直接支持我们的学生直接干预工作。我们的教师提升项目包括罗伯特·摩西代数项目，芝加哥和密西西比三角洲项目证明，该项目正在发展成为系统性改革的国家模式。参与的教师将接受特定课程的培训，并在课堂实施过程中获得后续支持。此外，中学教师将通过我们与加州理工学院的合资企业“教师暑期科学学院”接受实践科学培训，该项目将由外部资源资助。在六年级期间，我们将增加与长滩联合学区的互动，该学区对代数项目表现出高度的兴趣，这是他们系统改革努力的一部分。此外，ACCESS将与Inglewood学区合作，并与洛杉矶的城市系统倡议组织（USI）合作。＊＊＊

HRD-9453903 Cal State University Los Angeles, CA Cobb, Jewel "Southern California Science and Engineering Access Center & Network" The ACCESS Center has made significant progress since 1989 in addressing the under-representation of minority students in the Science, Engineering, Mathematics (SEM) Pipeline in the Greater Los Angeles Basin. To that end, ACCESS has provided programs that are coordinated, providing continuity and smooth passage through the pipeline using strategies centered on teacher enhancement and direct student intervention. This 6th year Continuation Grant, continues the work of the ACCESS Center and especially examines the programs and practices of the past five years to identify those that were successful for future replication. The major thrust of ACCESS during this 6th year will be to engage in a three pronged approach that includes reflective evaluation, direct student intervention and teacher enhancement. ACCESS has identified two primary goals: 1) To determine what works by evaluating a sample of ACCESS sponsored programs; 2) To strengthen programs at existing sites by focusing resources on our most successful programs. To accomplish this first goal, ACCESS will convene an outside evaluation committee that will be responsible for providing a "snap-shot" of model programs as they have evolved over time. In addition to general demographic data, questions relating to direct student intervention and teacher enhancement will be included. MOS data, school records, test scores, interviews and other sources will be utilized in the evaluation plan that will be developed by the implementation evaluation team. Direct student intervention will continue with the College Prep program. ACCESS will be working with three spin-off site replicated from the Lincoln High School model program in years 4 and 5. This program targets students entering high school who are under-represented minorities and are "B" or "C" students. This program is a classroom based direct intervention program that focuses on rigorous academic work with tutoring support, enrichment activities, and parental involvement. The third major activity will be to continue our Teacher Enhancement programs in math and science for middle school teachers. Teacher enhancement directly supports our direct student intervention efforts. Included in our Teacher Enhancement program is the Robert Moses Algebra Project, that is evolving as a national model for systemic reform as evidenced by the Chicago and Mississippi Delta Projects. Participating teachers will receive training with specific curriculum along with follow-up support during classroom implementation. Additionally, middle school teachers will receive training in hands-on science through our joint venture with CalTech called the Teacher Summer Science Academy which will be funded from external sources. During Year 6, there will be increased interaction with the Long Beach Unified School District, which has shown a high level of interest in the Algebra Project as part of their systemic reform efforts. Additionally, ACCESS will be working with the Inglewood School District and collaborating with the Urban Systemic Initiative (USI) if funded in Los Angeles. ***
