The Portland Public Schools (PPS) District is the largest district in the state of Oregon. It has an enrollment of almost 55,000 students in 64 elementary schools, 20 middle schools, 12 high schools and an increasing number of special focus and alternative programs. Of these schools 55 qualify for Title I assistance while approximately 49% of elementary students, 37% of middle school students and 28% of high school students participate in free/reduced lunch programs. Currently an estimated 38% of the students stem from minority backgrounds. PPS employs over 3,100 certified teachers and the district serves over 90% of Portland's eligible population. The district has used the PASS college entrance requirements as the academic target of all students for a number of years. The goals of the Portland USP are:1. To enable the district's entire diverse student enrollment to meet rigorous K-12 standards in science and mathematics and prepare for post-secondary education and future careers. To significantly reduce disparities in participation and academic performance between various student populations.2. To increase the district's capacity to develop, support, and sustain teacher and principal leadership in implementing standards-based curricular reform and continuous improvement of K-12 science, mathematics and technology education for all students.3. To engage families and the community in supporting improved student performance in science and mathematics and improved access to high-quality, inquiry-based educational opportunities in science, mathematics and technology.4. To establish ongoing, collaborative partnerships with higher education, business/industry, policy makers, and other key stakeholders in support of exemplary, research-based teaching and learning in science, mathematics, and technology within the context of a large and diverse urban school district.To reach these goals, some of the implementation strategies that will be used by the Portland USP during the first year are:a. After-school academic assistance/tutoring in both mathematics and science.b. Parent education on standards-based curricula and support for students at home.c. After-school workshops for teachers and principals on content knowledge and pedagogy.d. Science and math courses, workshops and lecture series.e. Annual summer institutes (5 days in math and 5 days in science).f. Preparation of science and mathematics leaders.

波特兰公立学校（PPS）区是俄勒冈州最大的地区。它在64所小学，20所中学，12所高中以及越来越多的特殊重点和替代方案中招收了近55，000名学生。在这些学校中，55所有资格获得第一章援助，而大约49%的小学生、37%的中学生和28%的高中生参加免费/减少午餐方案。目前估计有38%的学生来自少数民族背景。PPS拥有超过3，100名认证教师，该地区为波特兰90%以上的合格人口提供服务。该地区多年来一直将PASS大学入学要求作为所有学生的学业目标。波特兰USP的目标是：1。为了使该地区的整个多元化的学生入学，以满足严格的K-12标准的科学和数学，并准备中学后教育和未来的职业生涯。显著减少不同学生群体之间在参与和学习成绩方面的差距。提高该地区的能力，以发展，支持和维持教师和校长领导实施标准为基础的课程改革和不断改善K-12科学，数学和技术教育的所有学生。让家庭和社区参与支持提高学生在科学和数学方面的成绩，并改善获得科学、数学和技术方面高质量、基于探究的教育机会的机会。为了与高等教育、商业/工业、政策制定者和其他主要利益相关者建立持续的合作伙伴关系，以支持在大型和多样化的城市学区内进行示范性的、基于研究的科学、数学和技术教学。为了实现这些目标，波特兰USP在第一年将使用的一些实施策略是：a.数学和科学方面的课后学术援助/辅导。 在标准课程方面对家长进行教育，并在家中为学生提供支助。 为教师和校长举办关于内容知识和教学法的课后讲习班。 科学和数学课程、讲习班和系列讲座。年度暑期学院（数学5天，科学5天）。培养科学和数学领导者。
