PRIME Mathematics Project, K-5

9911754桑顿“总理”是一个合作的努力，涉及伊利诺伊州州立大学的数学教育教师和皮奥里亚区150。 针对伊利诺伊州第二大城市学区，这个地方系统性变化项目将为所有337名K-5课堂数学教师及其校长提供服务。 该项目是应教师在实施“数字、数据和空间调查”方面的专业支持请求而制定的，这是一项符合州和国家标准的小学数学课程改革。这个为期3.5年的教师增强计划涉及每个教师近150小时的专业学习。该计划包括三个密集的夏季课程，重点是提高教师对数学内容的理解-几何，有理数，数据和统计-以及与调查计划实施相关的教学实践。 系统的，实质性的后续通过在随后的学年的形式年级研讨会，课后讲习班，并广泛的，以课堂为基础的支持，从“总理”的工作人员，将提供。 一个由来自16所参与该项目的学校的32名主要教师组成的数学联系委员会负责监测年级一级的协调和调查的实施，并为PRIME工作人员的项目活动提供当地的投入。PRIME项目进一步受益于家长，社区和企业合作的重要支持，重点是学生的学习。通过让所有利益相关者参与进来，PRIME合作旨在促进和支持K-5数学教学和团队合作的不同方法。

9911754THORNTON"PRIME" is a collaborative effort involving Illinois State University's Mathematics Education faculty and Peoria District 150. Targeting the second largest urban school district in Illinois, this Local Systemic Change project will serve all 337 K-5 classroom mathematics teachers, and their principals. The project was developed in response to teachers' request for professional support in implementing "Investigations in Number, Data and Space," a reform elementary mathematics curriculum that is aligned with both state and national standards. This 3.5-year teacher enhancement program involves each teacher in nearly 150 hours of professional learning. This program features three intensive summer sessions focused on improving teachers' understanding of mathematics content -- geometry, rational numbers, data and statistics -- and teaching practices related to the implementation of the Investigations program. Systematic, substantive follow-through during subsequent school years in the form of grade level seminars, after school workshops, and extensive, classroom-based support from "PRIME" staff, will be provided. A Mathlinks Committee of 32 lead teachers from the 16 schools participating in the Project serves to monitor grade-level coordination and implementation of Investigations, and provides local input to PRIME staff for project activity. The PRIME project further benefits from significant support from a parent, community and business collaboration that focuses on student learning. By engaging all stakeholders, the PRIME collaborative seeks to promote and support qualitatively different approaches for teaching and teaming K-5 mathematics.
