Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation-Sacramento

加州州立大学萨克拉门托分校（CSUS）正在与萨克拉门托大学的数学、科学和教育学院、三所地区社区学院（洛斯里奥斯社区学院区）和当地K- 12学区合作，建立“卓越教师培养合作组织”，以实现两个目标：(1)通过修订数学和科学内容课程并与地区社区学院充分衔接，支持教师开发和使用基于标准的内容和教学法，为教师提供获得K-12教育经验的机会，以及支持内容和方法课程的整合，提高职前小学教师的数学/科学内容知识和教学实践。这项工作涉及大学数学和科学学院、教师教育学院和社区学院教员之间的合作。(2)通过建立基础设施来协调招聘、咨询和学术支持，并为未来的教师提供辅助教学机会，增加中小学数学/科学职前教师的数量，特别是来自代表性不足的群体。这是与地区社区学院（三所）和K- 12学区合作完成的。第三个目标是通过与合作教师合作实施基于经验的科学课程，并支持合作教师使用技术来加强课堂学习，从而提高学生教学点数学/科学课堂教学实践的质量。这项工作包括加强伙伴关系，学校和建立与地区企业的合作。

California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) is establishing The Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation-Sacramento that works with university mathematics, science, and education faculty, three area community colleges (Los Rios Community College District), and local K- 12 school districts in pursuit of two goals: (1) To improve the math/science content knowledge and teaching practice of pre-service elementary teachers by revising math and science content courses and fully articulating them with area community colleges, supporting faculty in developing and using standards-based content and pedagogy, providing faculty with opportunities to gain experience in K-12 education, and supporting integration of content and methods courses. This effort involves a collaboration among the university math and science faculty, teacher education faculty, and community college faculty. (2) To increase the number of elementary and secondary math/science pre-service teachers, especially from underrepresented groups, by building an infrastructure to coordinate recruitment, advising, and academic support, and by offering supported teaching opportunities to prospective teachers. This is being done in partnership with the area community colleges (three) and K- 12 school districts. A third goal, to improve the quality of math/science classroom teaching practices in student teaching sites by working with cooperating teachers to implement experience-based science curricula, and supporting cooperating teachers' use of technology to enhance classroom learning, is being pursued in parallel using alternative funding. This effort involves strengthening partnership schools and building collaborations with area businesses.
