The Chicago Secondary Mathematics Improvement Project

小行星9619062 芝加哥中学数学改进项目旨在帮助芝加哥学校： * 实施芝加哥新高中三年数学毕业要求;* 为所有学生提供高质量的数学教育;以及 * 使课程和教学实践与城市、州和国家目标和评估实践相一致。 实现这些目标的工具是互动数学计划（IMP）-五个NSF支持的高中综合数学课程项目的第一个要完成。 拟议的项目将为在选择实施IMP课程的学校工作的教师提供广泛的专业发展计划。 该项目将在三年内与大约15所芝加哥公立高中的200名教师合作，协助学校实施国际管理方案。 春季和夏季研讨会以及学年期间的校内支持是该项目的重要组成部分。 此外，还包括培养教师的领导能力和在赠款资助期后提供长期支助的计划。 该项目是基于三年的成功经验和实践，NSF支持的试点IMP实施在芝加哥，并建立在1990年开始的工作作为大学预科数学计划的一部分，一个项目，部分NSF的支持，导致学生成绩的增加和坚持数学为非裔美国人和西班牙裔学生在芝加哥。

9619062 Wagreich The Chicago Secondary Mathematics Improvement Project is designed to help Chicago Schools: * implement Chicago's new graduation requirement of three years of high school level mathematics; * provide a quality mathematics education for all students; and * align curriculum and teaching practices with city, state and national goals and assessment practices. The vehicle for attaining these goals is the Interactive Mathematics Program (IMP) - the first of five NSF supported high school comprehensive mathematics curriculum projects to be completed. The proposed project will provide a broad professional development program for teachers who work in schools that have elected to implement the IMP curriculum. The project will work with 200 teachers in approximately 15 Chicago public high schools over three years to assist schools with IMP implementation. Spring and summer workshops and in-school support during the academic year are essential components of the project. The development of teacher leadership and a plan for providing long-term support beyond the funding period of the grant are also included. The project is grounded in the experience and practice of three years of successful, NSF-supported pilot IMP implementation in Chicago and builds upon on work that began in 1990 as part of the College Preparatory Mathematics Program, a project that with partial NSF support, led to increases in student achievement and persistence in mathematics for African American and Hispanic students in Chicago.
