The Forum for School Science, "Reforming Science and Mathematics in Urban Schools," will review the positive results of efforts to improve science and mathematics in urban schools. The discussions will move to persistent problems, those difficult issues (outlined in proposal) that urban districts face as they attempt to accomplish true systemwide reform that advances all students. Strategies to deal with these issues will be identified through presentations by individuals currently engaged in system-wide reform programs in urban districts and facilitated discussions among Forum participants. Funding from the NSF will allow AAAS to give 150 educators the opportunity to attend the Forum and AAAS Annual Meeting. This includes travel grants to at least 20 teams from around the U.S. and meeting registration for people in the Washington, DC area. We will encourage those local systems to send teams of educators and community members. Each team or individual applying for a grant must complete an appliation that includes demographic and some statistical information about their district and describes its plan to improve science and mathematics education for all students. The guidelines for the Urban Systemic Program outlined on the NSF web site will inform this part of the application. Each group or individual receiving support must sign a memorandum of understanding with AAAS agreeing to submit a report six months after the meeting that describes progress to achieve the goals outlined in its application or a refinement of the plan and indicates how the information/contacts from the Forum have informed this process. A year after the meeting, districts will submit another progress report that also presents plans/goals for the next year. In addition, AAAS staff will contact a representative from each team at least twice during the year to answer questions, provide information, etc. Team members will be encouraged to contact us at any time.AAAS will also award research grants of $1,050 each to ten districts to chronicle and analyze/reflect on their efforts to bring about change in their system. We will encourage participants to choose only one of the issues discussed at the Forum--professional development, getting all students to learn science and mathematics, partnerships, and restructuring--to center on for their analysis/actionr research. We will provide general guidelines for the research. Teams will apply for the research grants shortly after the Forum. It is important that they have time to consider what topic they would like to pursue and if they have the time and resources to do it. To apply for a research grant, a district team must describe the focus of the research and how it will be carried out. A simple budget should be included. There will be regular contact with AAAS. A paper that details the results of their research will be submitted at the end of the 2000-2001 school year. These paper will be shared with NSF and disseminated on the AAAS web site. We will provide NSF with periodic updates about the progress of teams.

学校科学论坛“城市学校的改革科学与数学”将回顾改善城市学校科学和数学的积极成果。 讨论将转化为持续存在的问题，即城市地区试图完成所有学生的真正范围的改革，这些问题（在提案中概述）面临。 应对这些问题的策略将通过目前从事城市地区全系统改革计划的个人的演讲来确定，并促进论坛参与者之间的讨论。 NSF的资金将使AAAS为150名教育工作者提供参加论坛和AAAS年度会议的机会。 这包括向来自美国各地至少20支团队的旅行赠款，并为华盛顿特区地区的人们开会注册。 我们将鼓励那些当地系统派遣教育工作者和社区成员团队。每个申请赠款的团队或个人都必须完成一个应用程序，其中包括人口统计学和一些有关其地区的统计信息，并描述其为所有学生改善科学和数学教育的计划。 NSF网站上概述的城市系统计划的指南将为该申请提供信息。 每个小组或个人接收支持必须与AAAS签署一份理解备忘录，同意在会议后六个月提交一份报告，该报告描述了进度以实现其申请中概述的目标或计划的完善目标，并指出了论坛的信息/联系方式如何告知此过程。 会议结束后一年，地区将提交另一份进度报告，该报告还提出了明年的计划/目标。 此外，AAAS的工作人员将在一年中至少两次与每个团队的一名代表联系，以回答问题，提供信息等。将鼓励团队成员在任​​何时候与我们联系。AAAAS还将为十个地区提供1,050美元的研究赠款，以编年史，分析/反思他们的努力，以实现他们系统的变化。 我们将鼓励参与者仅选择论坛上讨论的问题之一 - 专业发展，让所有学生学习科学和数学，伙伴关系和重组 - 以进行分析/行动研究。 我们将为研究提供一般指南。 论坛结束后不久，团队将申请研究赠款。 重要的是，他们有时间考虑他们想追求的话题，以及是否有时间和资源来做到这一点。 要申请研究补助金，地区团队必须描述研究的重点以及如何进行研究。 应该包括一个简单的预算。 将与AAAS定期接触。 详细介绍其研究结果的论文将在2000-2001学年结束时提交。 这些论文将与NSF共享并在AAAS网站上分发。 我们将为NSF提供有关团队进度的定期更新。
