Hawaii Collaborative for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education (CESME)

CESME示范项目将展示我们于1995年6月向NSF CETP计划提交的夏威夷科学和数学卓越合作（CESME）提案的一部分。我们建议开发、测试和评估一个小规模的模型，以有效地协同改革夏威夷大学系统中职前小学教师的科学和数学准备。该项目汇集了夏威夷大学马诺阿分校（UHM）和卡皮奥拉尼社区学院（也在夏威夷大学系统内）的科学家和数学家，夏威夷大学马诺阿分校教育学院的科学和数学教育家，以及夏威夷教育部的专家和在职教师。该项目旨在重组四门现有课程，以反映科学和数学内容、教学和评估标准方面的改革；在这些课程中更好地整合科学与数学；更好地表达这些内容和教育课程。夏威夷拥有全州范围内的高等和低等公共教育系统，这使得拟议的项目合作成为可能。

The CESME Demonstration Project will demonstrate a portion of our original Hawaii Collaborative for Excellence in Science and Mathematics (CESME) proposal submitted in June 1995 to the NSF CETP program. We propose to develop, test, and evaluate a small-scale model for effective collaborative reform of science and mathematics preparation for pre-service elementary teachers in the University of Hawaii system. The Project brings together scientists and mathematicians from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) and Kapiolani Community College (also within the University of Hawaii system), science and mathematics educators from the College of Education at UHM, and specialists and inservice teachers from the Hawaii Department of Education. The Project aims to restructure four existing courses to reflect reforms in science and mathematics content, teaching, and assessment standards; to better integrate science and mathematics in these courses; and to better articulate these content and education courses. Hawaii has both a statewide higher and a lower public education system that makes the proposed Project collaborations possible.
