Indiana Mathematics Initiative

小行星9619043 印第安纳州数学倡议（IMI）是一项为期五年的教师增强和课程实施工作，涉及印第安纳州大学，中学网络和印第安纳州的十二个城市学区之间的伙伴关系。 该项目为62所完全致力于各级数学教育改革的中学的445名数学教师和管理人员提供了132 - 180小时的广泛专业发展经验。 这些经验旨在使每位教师能够有效地使用四套NSF支持的中学教学材料之一（连接数学，上下文数学，数学思维或六到八数学）或四套NSF支持的中学材料之一（核心加，ARISE，互动数学程序或SIMMS）。 该项目是根据“通过提高7-12年级数学教师水平实现地方系统变革”的指导方针提交的，旨在使教师对数学的认识和学习方式以及他们对自己在初中/高中数学课堂上的作用的看法发生重大变化。 这些变化将通过各种方式实现：（1）由教师、海事研究所工作人员和课程项目代表参加的密集和广泛的会议、研讨会和讲习班;（2）海事研究所工作人员在研讨会和讲习班之后继续提供支持和技术援助;（3）领导力发展的带头教师，地区课程协调员，和其他学校管理人员，以确保持续的，系统的变化;以及（4）与当前州改革努力的协调，特别是印第安纳州即将到来的数学教科书采用过程。 该项目的非联邦费用分摊额超过200万美元，其中 1，740，000美元将来自12个参与学区， 227，000美元来自印第安纳州大学，大约35，000美元来自中年级网络。

9619043 Frascella The Indiana Mathematics Initiative (IMI) is a five-year teacher enhancement and curricular implementation effort involving a partnership among Indiana University, the Middle Grades Network, and twelve urban school districts in Indiana. The project provides extensive professional development experiences of 132 - 180 hours for each of 445 mathematics teachers and administrators in 62 middle and secondary schools that are fully committed to mathematics education reform at all grade levels. The experiences are designed to enable each teacher to use effectively one of four sets of NSF-supported middle school instructional materials (Connected Mathematics, Mathematics in Context, Seeing and Thinking Mathematically, or Six through Eight Mathematics) or one of four sets of NSF-supported secondary school materials (Core Plus, ARISE, Interactive Mathematics Program, or SIMMS). Submitted under the guidelines for Local Systemic Change through Teacher Enhancement in Mathematics, Grades 7-12, the project seeks to create significant changes in how the teachers perceive mathematics and how it is learned, as well as in their views of their roles in middle/secondary mathematics classrooms. These changes will be effected in a variety of ways: (1) intensive and extensive meetings, seminars, and workshops involving the teachers, IMI staff, and representatives of the curriculum projects; (2) continuous support and technical assistance by IMI staff following seminars and workshops; (3) leadership development of lead teachers, district curriculum coordinators, and other school administrators to insure sustained, systemic change; and (4) coordination with current state reform efforts, especially Indiana's upcoming mathematics textbook adoption process. Non-federal cost-sharing in the project is over $ 2,000,000, of which more than $ 1,740,000 is to be derived from the twelve participating school districts, approximately $ 227,000 from Indiana University, and approximately $ 35,00 0 from the Middle Grades Network.
