PI: Peter Negroni TEAMS (Teachers Emphasizing Achievement in Mathematics and Science) is an integrated, research based and systemic five year plan designed by the Springfield (MA) Public Schools to increase the number of minority students enrolling in and successfully completing precollege courses which will prepare them to pursue undergraduate degree programs in the sciences, engineering and mathematics. The project objectives have been developed to meet this primary goal. 1 . To increase each year and by the end of the five year project to increase by a factor of three the number of minority students who successfully complete Algebra in the 9th grade; 2. To increase each year and by the end of the five year project period to increase by a factor of two the number of minority students taking advanced science, mathematics and technology course work, including honors and advanced placement courses; 3. To increase the number and percent of minority students electing to enroll in the High School of Science and Technology by 5% per year for each of the five project years; 4. To begin tracking the number of students electing to major in SMET courses of study beyond high school with the first project year as baseline data and to increase the number each subsequent year; 5. By the end of the five year project period, to increase the number of minority group teachers in mathematics, science and technology; 6. To reduce the academic achievement gaps between minority and non-minority students in science and math by 5% per year for five years (with a total reduction of 25% by the end of the five year project period); 7. For each project year, to improve the instructional methods of math and science teachers who receive training; and 8. To develop SMET pac kets of math/science activities. The TEAMS strategy complements the district's dual philosophy of increasing minority college enrollment and increasing the number of students excelling in math, science and technology. TEAMS will involve all 42 Springfield schools and will capitalize on the strong partnerships established by the Springfield Public Schools with the business, higher education, social services and minority neighborhood communities. Working with faculty from nearby Hampshire College and the Five College Partnership (Amherst, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Hampshire and U/Mass Amherst) , major project activities will involve: Upgrading teacher knowledge and skills in summer workshops and with continuous support throughout the year; Working with students to develop their own science and math projects which they will conduct in the manner of authentic researchers; Providing mentors, speakers and field trips to encourage more minority students to enter math and science career fields; Establishing neighborhood Math/Science Education Centers to assist all students to be successful in their Disseminating summer math/science booklets to assist all students to be successful in these courses and to courses by offering tutoring, help with homework and SAT Preparation; reinforce what has been learned during the previous school year as well as prepare for the upcoming year; Instituting Math/Science Expositions where students will present the results of their extended projects. This will be City-wide and follow a format of authentic research presentations; Placing advertisements/PSA's on local television stations to showcase what students are doing in math and science and featuring people employed in careers requiring math and science; Exposing students to real-world math and science with projects at local college laboratories and exposure to career options in SMET fiel ds: Increasing parental involvement by assisting with summer projects/activities, increasing attendance at the Expositions and attendance at Family Math and Science nights; Educating administrators and counselors to encourage and assist minority students in participating in higher level math and science courses and providing the necessary help in enrolling in college in SMET fields; and Providing a summer experience for students at the end of Grade 5 and Grade 8.

PI：Peter Negroni Teams(强调数学和科学成就的教师)是由斯普林菲尔德(MA)公立学校设计的一个综合性、基于研究和系统的五年计划，旨在增加少数族裔学生注册并成功完成大学预科课程的数量，为他们攻读科学、工程和数学本科学位课程做好准备。制定项目目标是为了实现这一主要目标。1.每年和到五年计划结束时，使在九年级顺利完成代数课程的少数民族学生人数增加三倍；2.每年到五年计划结束时增加少数民族学生人数两倍，学习高级科学、数学和技术课程，包括荣誉和高级选修课程；3.在五个项目年中，每年将选择进入理工科高中的少数族裔学生的人数和百分比增加5%；4.以第一个项目年为基线数据，开始跟踪选择在高中以后主修SMET课程的学生人数，并在以后的每一年增加这一数字；5.到五年项目期结束时，增加数学、科学和技术方面的少数民族教师；6.在五年内，每年缩小少数民族和非少数民族学生在科学和数学方面的学业成绩差距5%(到五年项目期结束时，总共缩小25%)；7.对每个项目年，改进接受培训的数学和科学教师的教学方法；和8.开发数学/科学活动的SMET PAC包。这一团队战略补充了该地区增加少数民族大学招生和增加数学、科学和技术领域优秀学生数量的双重理念。团队将包括所有42所斯普林菲尔德学校，并将利用斯普林菲尔德公立学校与商界、高等教育、社会服务和少数族裔社区建立的牢固合作伙伴关系。与附近的汉普郡学院和五学院伙伴关系(阿默斯特，芒特兰)的教职员工合作。在霍利奥克、史密斯、汉普郡和马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学)，主要项目活动将包括：在暑期讲习班和全年持续支持下提高教师的知识和技能；与学生合作开发他们自己的科学和数学项目，他们将以真正的研究人员的方式进行；提供导师、演讲者和实地考察，以鼓励更多的少数族裔学生进入数学和科学职业领域；建立邻里数学/科学教育中心，帮助所有学生成功地传播暑期数学/科学小册子，以帮助所有学生在这些课程中取得成功，并通过提供辅导、帮助家庭作业和SAT准备来帮助课程；巩固上一学年学到的知识，并为下一学年做好准备；举办数学/科学博览会，让学生展示他们扩展项目的成果。这将在全市范围内进行，并遵循真实研究演示的形式；在地方电视台投放广告/PSA，展示学生在数学和科学方面所做的事情，并介绍需要数学和科学的职业；通过在当地大学实验室的项目和在Smet Fiel DS中接触职业选择，让学生接触到真实世界的数学和科学；通过协助暑期项目/活动、增加参加博览会的人数和参加家庭数学和科学之夜，增加家长的参与；教育管理人员和辅导员，鼓励和帮助少数民族学生参加更高水平的数学和科学课程，并为进入SMET领域的大学提供必要的帮助；并为五年级和八年级末的学生提供暑期体验。
