The St. Louis Public Schools (SLPS) serving 42,673 students, of which 81.7% are eligible for free/reduced lunch, 15.3% are students with disabilities, 80% are African American, 17.4% White-non-Hispanic, 1.5% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 1.1% Hispanic, through the St. Louis Urban Systemic Program (SLUSP), proposes to build upon the substantial accomplishments realized under the St. Louis Urban Systemic Initiative (USI) to implement strategies that ensure effective teaching and student success in science and mathematics in all schools throughout the District. The District's policies bearing on mathematics and science graduation requirements, teacher and other staff professional development, and accountability programs conjoined to student achievement, student assessment and program evaluation, curriculum designs objectives/indicators coupled to explicit student learning outcomes, the annual performance standards for each school, school-based management, and infusion of technology into the delivery of instruction serve as the framework, enablers and direction for the overall reform process. The goals of the SLUSP include improving the implementation of standards-based, inquiry-centered science and mathematics education with technology infusion for all students, pre-K-12; increasing the competency of the science and mathematics instructional workforce; expanding the collaborations with colleges and universities for the production of science and mathematics teachers; and increasing the number of skilled entrants into the technology-based workforce.The District's program is informed by an implementation strategy that includes the following elements:- Full implementation of the standards-based, inquiry-centered science and mathematics education program with technology infusion for all students, pre-K-12;- Ensuring that the fully implemented program is a seamless, unitary teaching and learning sequence with regard to the continuum of the standards-based curriculum, instruction, and assessments with distributed accountability for student learning;- Increasing the competency of the science and mathematics instructional workforce through professional development and teacher education programs characterized by demanding content and performance standards; and- Enhancing teaching and learning outcomes through the use of state-of-the-art technologies and student support programs.The SLUSP has defined Student Achievement Benchmarks/Targets, inclusive of baseline data, to be attained in four areas of student achievement:1) performance on the mathematics and science portions of the statewide tests administered by the Missouri Achievement Program (MAP), 2) performance on the mathematics and science portions of the District-wide TerraNova achievement tests, 3) numbers enrolling in, and the percentage completing, selected advanced high school courses in mathematics and science, and4) numbers taking, and the scores achieved on, college placement exams such as the SAT and ACT. In addition, even higher improvement benchmarks for the District's black students were formulated explicitly in order to narrow the existing differences between white and black students on higher level math and science courses and on college placement exams.

圣路易斯公立学校有42,673名学生，其中81.7%有资格享受免费/减价午餐，15.3%是残疾学生，80%是非裔美国人，17.4%是非西班牙裔，1.5%是亚洲/太平洋岛民，1.1%是西班牙裔，通过圣路易斯城市系统计划(SLUSP)，圣路易斯公立学校建议在圣路易斯城市系统倡议(USI)下实现的重大成就的基础上，实施战略，确保整个地区所有学校的有效教学和学生在科学和数学方面的成功。该地区的政策涉及数学和科学毕业要求、教师和其他工作人员的专业发展、与学生成绩、学生评估和项目评估相结合的问责方案、课程设计目标/指标以及明确的学生学习成果、每所学校的年度表现标准、校本管理以及将技术注入教学中，这些政策是整个改革进程的框架、推动者和方向。该学区的目标包括改善实施以标准为基础、以探究为中心的科学和数学教育，并向所有学生灌输技术；提高科学和数学教师队伍的能力；扩大与高校的合作，培养科学和数学教师；以及增加以技术为基础的劳动力的人数。该学区方案的实施战略包括以下内容：--全面实施以标准为基础、以探究为中心、为所有学生灌输技术的科学和数学教育方案；-确保全面实施的方案在以标准为基础的课程、教学和评估的连续性方面是一个无缝、统一的教和学序列，并对学生的学习实行分布式问责；-通过以苛刻的内容和表现标准为特点的专业发展和教师教育方案，提高科学和数学教师队伍的能力；通过使用最先进的技术和学生支持计划，提高教学效果。SLUSP定义了学生成绩基准/目标，包括基线数据，学生成绩的四个方面：1)密苏里州成就计划(MAP)管理的全州考试的数学和科学部分的表现，2)全区Terranova成就测试的数学和科学部分的表现，3)被选中的高级高中数学和科学课程的入学人数和完成率，以及4)数字和在大学分级考试(如SAT和ACT)中取得的成绩。此外，还明确为该地区的黑人学生制定了更高的进步基准，以缩小白人和黑人学生在更高水平的数学和科学课程以及大学分级考试中的现有差异。
