9454790 Laffey The Missouri Supporting Teachers (MOST) project is a nine-month grant to a consortium of statewide stakeholders to plan a program of educational reform and technological innovation. The consortium holds a commitment to an integrated teacher support system and network infrastructure designed around the needs of teachers implementing an integrated math and science curriculum through problem-based learning and computational science techniques. The MOST project will support the needed systemic change by planning the implementation of: (1) a network infrastructure which creates a community of educators and leverages knowledge and experience across the community, (2) an electronic teacher support system designed around the practices and challenges of teaching and learning, and (3) a consortium of change agents with a cohesive vision and a common set of tools for supporting teacher professionalization and school restructuring. The planning grant will support four main activities. The first is to extend and articulate a powerful model of problem-based learning and computational science being developed in the Lee's Summit School District, as well as to learn from other projects which are exploring and advancing these key principles and methods. Second, preliminary designs for the electronic teacher support system and network infrastructure will be developed and prototyped, in order to specify the requirements for implementation and maintenance. Third, the consortium of stakeholders will be extended and elaborated, so that a pathway is drawn for including all major constituents. And fourth, the planning grant will enable the development and articulation of a strategic and tactical plan which can draw support for the long-term efforts. The restructuring of the teaching/learning process to achieve meaningful learning of math and science as exemplified by problem-based learning requires a radical reconceptualization of the way teachers are developed and supported. The MOST project is well situated to build and test a powerful and innovative model of teacher professionalization which is implemented in the field, supported by a community of practitioners, and enabled by a technology infrastructure. The MOST project leverages (1) Missouri's continuing commitment to building a network infrastructure for schools and the existing MOREnet services, (2) the exciting work and experience of teachers in Lee's Summit, (3) a base of research and development in electronic support systems, and (4) the commitment of key statewide stakeholders.

9454790 Laffey 密苏里州教师支持 (MOST) 项目是向全州利益相关者联盟提供为期九个月的赠款，用于规划教育改革和技术创新计划。 该联盟致力于建立一个综合教师支持系统和网络基础设施，以满足教师通过基于问题的学习和计算科学技术实施综合数学和科学课程的需求。 MOST 项目将通过规划实施以下内容来支持所需的系统性变革：(1) 创建教育工作者社区并利用整个社区的知识和经验的网络基础设施，(2) 围绕教学实践和挑战设计的电子教师支持系统，以及 (3) 具有凝聚力愿景和支持教师专业化和学校重组的通用工具集的变革推动者联盟。 规划拨款将支持四项主要活动。 首先是扩展和阐明李峰学区正在开发的基于问题的学习和计算科学的强大模型，以及向正在探索和推进这些关键原则和方法的其他项目学习。 其次，将开发电子教师支持系统和网络基础设施的初步设计并进行原型设计，以明确实施和维护的要求。 第三，利益相关者联盟将得到扩展和细化，从而制定一条包含所有主要利益相关者的路径。 第四，规划拨款将有助于制定和阐明战略和战术计划，为长期努力提供支持。 重组教学/学习过程以实现有意义的数学和科学学习（以问题为基础的学习为例）需要对教师的培养和支持方式进行彻底的重新概念化。 MOST 项目非常适合构建和测试强大且创新的教师专业化模型，该模型在实践者社区的支持下在现场实施，并由技术基础设施支持。 MOST 项目利用了 (1) 密苏里州对为学校和现有 MOREnet 服务建设网络基础设施的持续承诺，(2) Lee's Summit 教师令人兴奋的工作和经验，(3) 电子支持系统的研究和开发基地，以及 (4) 全州主要利益相关者的承诺。
