HRD 98-01630 Williams Dayton Public Schools is a midsize urban school district in Ohio which serves a student population that is nearly 68% African American. In spite of focused attention to science and mathematics achievement over the past six years, the district s African American students continue to underperform their peers on state tests of science and mathematics proficiency. In addition, they have low rates of participation in advanced courses in science and mathematics and their failure rates are higher than those of other district students. In this application the district proposes a Science and Mathematics Systemic Reform Program which will bring together the resources of diverse school and community partners to carry out an innovative plan that will result in measurable improvements in the science and mathematics performance of minority students, increasing their potential for successful participation in postsecondary study in science, engineering, and mathematical fields. In previous collaborative efforts with its local partners, the school district has established a solid foundation from which to launch a comprehensive reform of science and mathematics education. Initiatives undertaken during the past six years have focused primarily on: revision of the K-12 science and mathematics education curriculum; inservice training to improve teachers' content knowledge and teaching skills in science and mathematics; and the upgrading of science laboratories and equipment. In addition, substantial progress has been made in the application of technology and the use of community resources in the reshaping of science and mathematics education within district schools. The proposed project addresses the remaining barriers that contribute to the continuing disproportionality of student achievement and impeded the progress of all district students in mathematics and science learning. It will consist of multiple components, including: o comprehensive staff de velopment for all elementary faculty and all secondary science and mathematics teachers o administrative leadership development to support the assessment, supervision, and instructional delivery of science and mathematics education o implementation of a coaching system utilizing specially trained science and mathematics specialists as on-site resource support for the achievement of teaching excellence o development of videotape models of exemplary science and mathematics instruction for use as professional development tools o establishment of improved methods of evaluating student achievement in science and mathematics and accessing this data more frequently for closer monitoring of educational outcomes o a restructuring of middle and high schools into collaborative learning communities which operate as teams and promote the use of research as a base for improving science and mathematics teaching o the infusion of technology to enhance both the instruction and the instructional management of science and mathematics education o enhanced student academic support and enrichment programs in science and mathematics and efforts to increase parental involvement in science and mathematics learning support o systematic attention to policy issues that will promote equity and excellence in science and mathematics for all students in the district.

威廉姆斯代顿公立学校是俄亥俄州的一个中等规模的城市学区，学生中有近68%是非洲裔美国人。尽管在过去的六年里，该地区的非裔美国学生一直关注科学和数学成绩，但在国家科学和数学能力测试中，该地区的非裔美国学生的表现仍然不如同龄人。此外，他们参加高级科学和数学课程的比例很低，不及格率也高于其他地区的学生。在这项申请中，学区提出了一项科学和数学系统改革计划，该计划将汇集不同学校和社区合作伙伴的资源，实施一项创新计划，该计划将导致少数民族学生在科学和数学方面的成绩得到可衡量的改善，增加他们成功参与科学、工程和数学领域高等教育的潜力。在之前与当地合作伙伴的合作努力中，该学区已经建立了坚实的基础，可以在此基础上开展科学和数学教育的全面改革。在过去六年中采取的举措主要集中在：修订K-12科学和数学教育课程；在职培训，提高教师在科学和数学方面的内容知识和教学技能；科学实验室和设备的升级。此外，在应用技术和利用社区资源改造地区学校内的科学和数学教育方面也取得了重大进展。拟议的项目解决了导致学生成绩继续不成比例的剩余障碍，并阻碍了所有地区学生在数学和科学学习方面的进步。它将由多个部分组成，包括：O为所有小学教师和所有中学科学和数学教师提供全面的员工发展；O发展行政领导能力，以支持评估、监督、科学和数学教育的教学交付；利用受过专门训练的科学和数学专家作为现场资源支持的教练系统的实施，以实现卓越的教学；开发示范性科学和数学教学的录像带模型，作为专业发展工具；建立评估学生在科学和数学方面成就的改进方法这些数据更频繁地用于更密切地监测教育成果；将初中和高中改组为协作学习社区，以团队形式运作，并促进将研究作为改进科学和数学教学的基础；注入技术以加强科学和数学教育的教学和教学管理；加强学生的学术支持和丰富科学和数学课程数学和努力增加家长对科学和数学学习的参与，支持系统地关注政策问题，这些问题将促进该地区所有学生在科学和数学方面的公平和卓越。
