9724994 Patty Systemic Reform of Mathematics 6-12 for Rural Virginia (SRMRV), a five-year project designed to encourage and implement systemic change in the high schools and middle schools of five school divisions in rural Virginia, is a partnership between Virginia Tech and the public schools of Buckingham County, Craig County, Montgomery County, Nottoway County, and Roanoke City. Each of the 174 mathematics teachers in the participating schools engages in professional development built around nationally developed, cutting-edge, NSF-funded instructional material that is to replace traditional textbooks. The project's major objective is to provide all 174 mathematics teachers with the background and resources to achieve whole-school reform in mathematics through the implementation of a mathematically integrated, problem-solving-based curriculum. As a Local Systemic Change through Teacher Enhancement in Mathematics, Grades 7-12, project, the professional development in SRMRV has a focus on strengthening content and renewing pedagogy. Twelve mathematics teachers in one high school, where the teachers have already engaged in significant professional development, receive 131 hours of enhancement. Participants who teach both middle and high school mathematics receive 268 hours of professional development. All other middle and high school mathematics teachers receive 173 hours. The teacher enhancement curriculum is structured around: ten-day (two-week) summer workshops; academic-year experiences that carry credit as graduate courses; five-day (one-week) summer workshops that follow the two-week summer workshops and intervening graduate courses; and two-hour, follow-up, academic-year sessions. The project also incorporates a small research component on the use of technology in the classroom. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies will capture the various phases of technology use, addressing such questions as: * What aspects of technology are important? * How does tech nology interact with curriculum? * How do students use technology? * How do teachers use technology? Cost-sharing, which is approximately 158% of the NSF-request, is derived from the participating school divisions and Virginia Tech.

9724994 弗吉尼亚农村地区帕蒂数学 6-12 系统改革 (SRMRV) 是一个为期五年的项目，旨在鼓励和实施弗吉尼亚农村地区五个学部的高中和初中的系统变革，是弗吉尼亚理工大学与白金汉县、克雷格县、蒙哥马利县、诺托韦县和罗阿诺克市公立学校之间的合作伙伴关系。 参与学校的 174 名数学教师中的每一位都围绕国家开发的、由 NSF 资助的尖端教材进行专业发展，这些教材将取代传统教科书。 该项目的主要目标是为所有 174 名数学教师提供背景和资源，通过实施数学综合、以解决问题为基础的课程，实现全校数学改革。 作为通过 7-12 年级数学教师提升项目进行的地方系统性变革，SRRMV 的专业发展重点是加强内容和更新教学法。 一所高中的 12 名数学教师已经进行了重大的专业发展，接受了 131 个小时的强化。 教授初中和高中数学的参与者将接受 268 小时的专业发展。 所有其他初中和高中数学教师的教学时间为 173 小时。 教师提升课程的结构如下： 为期十天（两周）的夏季研讨会；可作为研究生课程学分的学年经验；为期五天（一周）的夏季研讨会，紧接着两周的夏季研讨会和研究生课程；以及两小时的后续学年课程。 该项目还包含一个关于课堂技术使用的小型研究部分。 定量和定性方法将捕捉技术使用的各个阶段，解决以下问题： * 技术的哪些方面很重要？ * 技术如何与课程相互作用？ * 学生如何使用技术？ * 教师如何使用技术？ 费用分摊大约占 NSF 请求的 158%，来自参与的学校部门和弗吉尼亚理工大学。
