The Chicago Secondary Mathematics Improvement Project

9619062瓦格勒里奇芝加哥中学数学改进项目旨在帮助芝加哥学校：*执行芝加哥高中数学三年毕业的新要求；*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、州和国家的目标和评估实践保持一致。实现这些目标的载体是互动数学项目(IMP)--这是美国国家科学基金会资助的五个高中综合数学课程项目中的第一个项目。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，帮助学校实施IMP。春季和夏季讲习班以及学年期间的校内支助是该项目的重要组成部分。此外，还包括发展教师领导力和在补助金资助期之后提供长期支助的计划。该项目基于美国国家科学基金会在芝加哥成功实施IMP三年的试点经验和做法，并以1990年开始的工作为基础，该项目是大学预科数学计划的一部分，该项目在国家科学基金会的部分支持下，提高了芝加哥非裔美国人和西班牙裔学生的学生成绩和数学毅力。

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.
