CPMSA -- TEAMS - Teachers Emphasizing Achievement in Mathematics and Science

主要研究者：Peter Negroni团队（强调数学和科学成就的教师）是斯普林菲尔德（MA）公立学校设计的一项综合，基于研究和系统的五年计划，旨在增加少数民族学生入学并成功完成预科课程的人数，这将使他们为攻读科学本科学位课程做好准备，工程学和数学 制定项目目标是为了实现这一主要目标。 1.一、 每年增加，到年底， 五年计划，以增加一个因素， 三是少数族裔学生的人数， 在9年级顺利完成代数; 2.每年都在增加，到五月底， 年项目周期增加的因素 二是少数民族学生人数 高等科学、数学和技术 课程工作，包括荣誉和先进的 就业安排课程; 3.为了增加 少数民族学生选择报名参加 高中科学和 五个项目中的每一个每年增加5%的技术 年; 4.要开始跟踪学生人数， 选择SMET专业学习课程 高中毕业后的第一个项目 年作为基准数据， 每一年的数字; 5.到五年项目期结束时， 增加少数民族的人数 数学、科学和 技术; 6.缩小学业成绩差距 少数民族学生和非少数民族学生之间 科学和数学每年提高5%， 年（共减少25%， 五年计划结束时）。 7.在每个项目年度， 数理教学法 接受培训的教师;以及 8.开发SMET数学/科学活动包。 TEAMS战略补充了该地区的双重理念，即增加少数民族大学入学率和增加在数学、科学和技术方面表现出色的学生人数。 团队将涉及所有42个斯普林菲尔德学校，并将利用斯普林菲尔德公立学校与商业，高等教育，社会服务和少数民族社区建立的强大伙伴关系。 与附近的教师合作 汉普郡学院和五个学院伙伴关系（阿默斯特，山。 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： 通过暑期讲习班和全年不断的支持，提高教师的知识和技能; 与学生一起开发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，鼓励更多少数民族学生进入数学和科学职业领域; 建立社区数学/科学教育中心，帮助所有学生在他们的传播夏季数学/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准备课程;巩固在上一学年学到的东西，并为 即将到来的一年;建立数学/科学博览会，学生将展示他们的扩展项目的结果。 这将是全市范围内的，并遵循真实的研究报告的格式; 在地方电视台投放广告/公益广告，展示学生在数学和科学方面的表现，并介绍从事需要数学和科学的职业的人; 让学生接触真实世界的数学和科学，在当地大学实验室进行项目，并接触SMET领域的职业选择： 增加 家长参与协助 通过暑期项目/活动，增加博览会的出席率和家庭数学和科学之夜的出席率; 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层次的数学和科学课程，并提供必要的帮助，在SMET领域的大学入学; 在5年级和8年级结束时为学生提供暑期体验。

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.
