abstract ESI 9554186 Patricia Campbell Institution: University of Maryland at College Park with subcontract to Baltimore City Schools Mathematics: Application and Reasoning Skills (MARS) is a 4-year Local Systemic Change project at $5,999,000 to enhance all of the approximately 2300 K-5 teachers of mathematics in the Baltimore City Schools. The enhancement is aligned with national standards and the Maryland State Outcomes in Mathematics. It is focused on adult-level mathematics content, instructional methods to promote student understanding and problem solving, research on children's learning of critical mathematics constructs, mathematics curriculum standards, performance assessment, strategies to increase math achievement and preparation of urban students, and community resources for continuing mathematics education. Cohorts of schools will participate in two-year enhancement cycles. All teachers in a building will receive at least 100 hours of enhancement starting with a 14-day summer institute which includes work with students in a summer program. Teachers will be required to complete 15 hours of professional development during the first year of implementation and an additional 13 hours in the second year of implementation. Three lead teachers, selected from within the building, will receive 60 hours of advanced leadership training and support during the year prior to that building faculty's first summer. A cadre of exemplary teachers will be released from the classroom for up to six years to be prepared and to serve as project resource teachers. There will be one resource teacher for every three schools to act as peer coach, program monitor, teacher consultant and give day-to-day support in that school. Principals will participate in quarterly meetings during this period. MARS establishes faculty partnerships across higher education facilities in the City of Baltimore to support the co-development of continuing mathematics education courses addressing mathematics content, mathematics pedagogy, and the integration of mathematics and science. There is collaboration with the Baltimore USI project. Cost-sharing is reported at $1,587,819 or 26% of the NSF support.

摘要 ESI 9554186 Patricia Campbell 机构：马里兰大学帕克分校，分包给巴尔的摩城市学校 数学：应用和推理技能 (MARS) 是一个为期 4 年的地方系统性变革项目，耗资 5,999,000 美元，旨在增强巴尔的摩城市学校所有约 2300 名 K-5 数学教师的能力。 此次增强符合国家标准和马里兰州数学成果。 它的重点是成人水平的数学内容、促进学生理解和解决问题的教学方法、儿童学习关键数学结构的研究、数学课程标准、成绩评估、提高城市学生数学成绩和准备的策略以及继续数学教育的社区资源。 学校群体将参加为期两年的强化周期。 大楼内的所有教师将从为期 14 天的暑期学院开始接受至少 100 小时的强化培训，其中包括与学生一起参加暑期项目。 教师将被要求在实施的第一年完成 15 个小时的专业发展，并在实施的第二年额外完成 13 个小时。从大楼内选出的三名首席教师将在该大楼教师的第一个夏季之前的一年内接受 60 小时的高级领导力培训和支持。一批模范教师将被从课堂上抽出来，为期六年，以做好准备并担任项目资源教师。 每三所学校将配备一名资源教师，担任同伴辅导员、项目监督员、教师顾问，并为学校提供日常支持。 在此期间，校长将参加季度会议。 MARS 在巴尔的摩市的高等教育机构之间建立了教师合作伙伴关系，以支持共同开发继续数学教育课程，解决数学内容、数学教学法以及数学与科学的整合问题。 与巴尔的摩 USI 项目有合作。 据报道，费用分摊为 1,587,819 美元，占 NSF 支持的 26%。
